Can a dual clutch be equipped with an energy storage device

Does a dual clutch transmission improve acceleration performance and fuel efficiency?

Abstract: Dual clutch transmission (DCT) which can simultaneously improve acceleration performance and fuel efficiency compared to automatic transmissions (AT) and manual transmissions (MT) is one of the most noted studies in recent powertrain applications.

What is a dual clutch transmission (DCT)?

Dual clutch transmission (DCT) which can simultaneously improve acceleration performance and fuel efficiency compared to automatic transmissions (AT) and manual transmissions (MT) is one of the most noted studies in recent powertrain applications.

Can a two-speed dual-clutch gearbox be used for electric vehicles?

Most electric vehicles today use gearboxes with multiple speeds. The transmission systems on traditional cars using internal combustion engines can be used for electric vehicles. In this paper, the author presents the research result on the gearshift strategy of a two-speed dual-clutch gearbox applied on electric vehicles for energy efficiency.

Does clutch actuator reduce fuel efficiency of DCT-equipped vehicles?

However, much of energy consumption of clutch actuator reduces fuel efficiency of DCT-equipped vehicles. In order to reduce energy consumption of these actuators, a method of modifying mechanism and a method of improving it through control have been studied.

Why does a clutch actuator use a lot of electric energy?

Particularly, when an electric motor is used as a clutch actuator, a large amount of electric energy is required. This requires a large capacity battery, size and load torque on the alternator for electrical generation. Therefore, electric energy consumption is increased compared to AT and MT vehicles.

Does a clutch actuator have a different self-energizing gain?

In particular, clutch actuator of the BR-DCT is modeled to have a different self-energizing gain depending on thesignofclutchtorque.Clutchactuatorusedinthissimulation was an electric motor. Power calculation for modeling energy consumption of a clutch actuator using an electric motor is expressed by following equation. P
