Thermal Evaluation of Toyota Prius Battery Pack

August 19, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Toyota 

The Toyota Prius is a five-passenger compact sedan powered by a 52 kW gasoline engine and a 33 kW electric motor. It has a curb weight of 1254 kg. The Prius has a complex dual-mode hybrid configuration in which energy to and from the vehicle wheels can travel along several different pathways. Mechanical energy to the wheels passes through a planetary gear set that couples to the engine, electric motor, generator, and to the final drive. Power to the wheels can be provided solely by a (273.6 Volt Nickel Metal Hydride [NiMH]) battery pack through the electric motor, directly from the gasoline engine, or from a combination of both the motor and the engine. The battery pack can be recharged directly by energy from the wheels powering the motor (regenerative braking) or from excess energy from the gasoline engine – which turns the generator.
