Abstract
Against the backdrop of growing demand for fuels with lower polluting potential, ethanol is a feasible option for internal combustion engines, given its categorization as a renewable energy source, in addition to the inferior generation of polluting gases in its use and production cycle. However, due to the unsatisfactory performance of Otto engines, especially at low speeds, hybrid technology offers a solution. Therefore, what is projected in this work is a hybrid system composed by an electric motor associated with an internal combustion engine of the Otto cycle driven by ethanol, in which, it is important to highlight, there is a relevant potential for efficiency gain, and consequent decrease in fuel consumption, and also for emissions reduction. In order to validate this proposal, a simulation is done in ADVISOR (Advanced Vehicle Simulator), a computational vehicle analysis tool, in a way to allow a comparison between hybrid electric vehicles and conventional ones. Thus, considering the advantages of this system, it is proposed an alternative to diesel or gasoline engines.
