Abstract
The greater protection towards the environment and human health together with the problems related to pollution and the lack of energy sources in recent years has led to study of innovative solutions for terrestrial propulsion.
One of these is the use of hybrid engines that allow combining an internal combustion engine with an electric propulsion system allowing to maximize the efficiency of the first as well as reduce consumption and lower polluting emissions thanks to the second.
The combination of these two different aspects contains the challenges related to the packaging of the whole engine, the weight linked to the electrical components, the complexity of the new control system, etc.
This thesis describes the study of a one-dimensional model for the analysis of consumption on a driving cycle of a two stroke engine, with direct injection, implemented on a motorcycle with hybrid propulsion. The first part gives an overview of the regulations for motorcycles in the EU and an overview of hybrid configurations. The second part presents the model and all the phases that led to the simulation of the driving cycle and finally the third part concerning the analysis of the results obtained.
