Analysis of research in the field of design and operation of mobile electric units with autonomous power supply
This article describes the latest trends in the development of cars and agricultural tractors with the use of hybrid electric power plants, where special attention is paid to the hybrid layout of the traction unit. The analysis of fuel efficiency of hybrid power plants with different variations of connection schemes is carried out. The rationale for the operation of the machine-tractor unit is given. The paper presents the works of leading Russian scientists who have made a huge contribution to the development of electric - powered automobile and tractor construction. The theoretical foundations, concept and schematic diagram of a hybrid tractor, as well as prospects for further research of scientists of the Department of Tractors and Automobiles in this direction, dedicated to the development of measures to ensure the effective operation of hybrid power plants intended for agricultural machinery, are presented. The main direction for the efficiency of using this type of tractor is determined.
