Understanding Motor and Controller Efficiency in Low Voltage AC and DC VehiclesToday's vehicle design calls for low cost, high performance and highefficiency. To make the best choice ofcomponents each of the goals must be understood. High efficiency is typically difficult to define. A customermay mean the time the vehicle can perform the task until a charge is required, the number of operations com-pleted in an hour, or the distance the vehicle can travel in single charge. We know that these criteria are notdirect measures of efficiency and are dependent on vehicle performance. The focus of this presentation is onclarifying efficiency in the electric motor and controller.

International Compliance for IndustrialAnd Utility VehiclesIn today's open market economy all manufacturers havethe same goal to gain access to greater parts of theworld. So It is important to understand compliancerequirements for the different markets.Europe has developed a mostly uniform certification andcompliance system while other regions have a variety ofcompliance requirements for different products. Somecountries may accept self declared compliance whileothers require the involvement of a third party testagency,or government testing to prove compliance withspecific requirements. These requirements include safe-ty, but often are followed by ergonomics, EMC, acousticnoise, marking and other administrational measures. Itis essential to study and understand these requirementsbefore preparing for export or import of any product.

Fast Charging – Lowering the LifecycleCosts of Industrial VehiclesThere are several ways to power and operate industrialvehicles including Internal Combustion Engine (ICE),battery powered (battery changing and fast charging)and possibly fuel cells in the near future. The presenta-tion briefly describes the benefits of electric drive indus-trial vehicles over ICE powered industrial vehicles. Themajority of the presentation is dedicated to comparingand contrasting fuel cell and battery powered industrialvehicles. The battery powered industrial vehicles arebroken into two categories: battery changing and fastcharging. Comparisons are made regarding energy effi-ciency, which relates to effective emissions, operatingperformance and lifecycle costs of each power train.The collected data show that fast charging battery pow-ered industrial vehicles can provide the highest efficien-cy, lowest effective emissions, best vehicle performanceand lowest operating costs for most operations.

Performance of Phosphate Lithium-ionBatteries in Electric Industrial Utility Vehicles Most manufacturers of electric IUVs and materials han-dling equipment who traditionally use lead-acid batteriesare investigating the use of advanced battery chemistriesfor use in their products. The use of phosphate lithium-ion batteries has become an alternative to lead-acid, aswell as other advanced chemistry batteries such as nick-el metal hydride and oxide based lithium-ion now beingevaluated in these and other motive power applications.This is due to its performance advantages and lower costof ownership.

Hydraulic Pump Fault Detection UsingWavelet Analysis and Fuzzy LogicUnexpected failures of components in hydraulic systemscan cause substantial losses in productivity. Oil analysis,or tribology, is a refined science that has been useful indiagnosing hydraulic component failure. However, thismethod is not capable of providing real-time feedbackand can be costly. This presentation will introduce areal-time fault detection method for hydraulic pumps.Wavelet analysis and fuzzy logic were used to processoperating signals and characterize pump health. Thismethod can be implemented into an on-line health moni-toring system to detect and possibly diagnosis pumpfailures in off-highway equipment.

Case Study: Fuel Cell Powered ForkliftsSurvive Real World TestHydrogenics began a project in 2003 to validate thevalue proposition for fuel cell forklifts in the material han-dling industry. As part of this project, two electric Hysterlift trucks were retrofitted with fuel cell hybrid powerpacks and deployed in Q1 2005 at GM of Canada and inQ3 2005 at Federal Express at the Toronto Intl. Airport. This presentation will discuss the technology employed,specifically examining the hybrid design which incorpo-rates ultra capacitors as a source of energy storage. Itwill also discuss deployment results and outcomes,including user perspectives. The project also involvedthe installation of electrolysers and hydrogen dis-pensers at the locations, which will be discussed.

AGVS 101 - Automatic Guided VehicleSystem Basics Most companies who wish to save costs eventually lookto Automated Guided Vehicles. In some cases there issimply too much information to digest and no source fora real world simple guide. This presentation will walk anewcomer through the basics of determining if an AGVsystem is right for their situation. This session will edu-cate potential users on the basic workings of an AGVsystem. Vehicle types, characteristics, safety systems,guidance technology, battery charging, host computersystems, traffic control and factory layout software willbe discussed.Also provided are AGV navigation types and off-boardcontrols, the basic calculations, in ‘Rule of Thumb’terms, so that any potential user can determine a goodcost estimate to determine if an AGV system has areturn on investment.

The Hydrogen Conversion RoadmapThis presentation is intended for those industries

adopting fuel cell technology to power lift trucks, forklifts,aerial lifts, GSE, turf equipment, industrial trucks andtugs, loaders and AGV's. It's purpose is to provide thoseadopting fuel cells with an actual conversion roadmap. Itwill address questions they should ask the company supplying them the fuel cell powered vehicle. The presen-tation will show them what to look for as they make decisions to source the hydrogen fuel? It will describe theinfrastructure and site location issues they should beaware of as they evaluate on site hydrogen generationfacilities vs delivered hydrogen. It will detail the stepsassociated with hydrogen dispensing to refuel the vehicle.

Advanced Integration Solutions BetterSolutions, Quicker This paper will explore the benefits of advanced inte-grated power products. Products which bring together allthe critical elements to present today’s engineers with apowerful tool for better solutions.An overview of the advantages of advanced integrationproducts to meet today’s need to bring power electron-ics solutions to the market quickly will be discussed. Itwill examine how each of the key disciplines is affectedby the choice to use a packaged solution. An advancedintegrated solution can save mechanical design time,electrical design time, and software development time.Because of each of these savings, development costand the time from concept to production can be greatlyreduced. An often overlooked aspect of advanced inte-gration solutions is the lower cost of the solution. Sincethese solutions are made in larger volume the savingscan be passed to the customer’s end product.The downward trend in cost per watt and watts per cubicinch will also be explored and content of available inte-grated power modules will be identified.
