演讲人介绍：

J.-W.Biermann教授曾经就读于德国亚琛工业大学机械工程系并获得汽车工程专业硕士学位。他在1981年获得博士学位，于1988年担任教授职位。现在，他在亚琛工业大学教授若干门课程。除此之外，他还是位于曼谷的泰德工程研究生院的客座教授。

自2008年始，Biermann教授担任汽车工程研究院副院长。他是《机械工程师学会杂志》（ImechE，伦敦）和《韩国汽车工程师协会杂志》（KSAE，汉城）顾问编辑委员会成员。

科研成果：

在过去的35年间，Biermann教授负责为全球的汽车制造商、供应商和公共研究基金开展一系列研发项目。其大多数研究工作集中在替代性传动系统比如混合动力传动和电动汽车。在最近几年中，10多辆采用替代性传动的示范汽车是在他的管理下进行开发的。

其在科研工作中关注的第二个主题是汽车的噪声、振动和舒适性(NVH)状况。他为汽车噪音辐射的相关新型测量技术和计算程序做出了重大贡献。

Biermann教授已经在国际会议和国际科学杂志上发表了150多篇科学论文。

演讲摘要：

提高能源效率、减少能源/燃料消耗和废气排放物是开发新型汽车的重要要求。特别是对于新兴市场国家比如中国和印度，对个人交通的需求增长强劲。然而，汽车数量日益增加导致废气排放物增加以及产生交通噪音。对于人口众多的城市来说，健康状况和生活质量显著下降。在这种背景下，公共交通系统扮演着重要角色。本演讲主要是介绍城市混合动力公交车。

在简要介绍德国亚琛汽车工程技术有限公司在“替代性汽车驱动系统”方面的悠久历史之后，将对混合动力传动系统的一般性优缺点进行讨论。接着讲解混合动力传动系统的不同基本架构并在此范围内对开发新型部件和设计能源-热-管理概念所面临的挑战进行说明。最后，介绍欧洲OEM厂商的一些混合动力公交车并以车队测试项目为例子加以介绍。

Speaker Introduction:

Professor Dr.-Ing. habil J.-W. Biermann has studied in the faculty of Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University,Germany, completing with the Diploma degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in Automotive Engineering. In 1981, he received his PhD (Dr.-Ing.) and in 1988 he took his professorship. He is giving several courses at RWTH Aachen University. Beside that he is guestlecturer at the Thai Graduate German School in Bangkok.

Since 2008 Prof. Biermann is Vice Director at the Institute of Automotive Engineering. He is member of the advisory editorial board of both the Journal of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (ImechE, London) and the Journal of The Korea Society of Automotive Engineers (KSAE, Seoul).

Achievements in Scientific Research:

During the last 35 years Prof. Biermann was responsible for a multitude of R&D projects, which were carried out for vehicle manufacturers and suppliers as well as public research foundations worldwide. Most of his research work is focused on alternative powertrains like Hybrid-drives and battery electrical vehicles. In recent years more than ten demonstrator cars with alternative drives have been built up under his management.

A second topic of his scientific work is focussing on the Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) behaviour of vehicles. He has significantly contributed to new measurement techniques and calculation programmes with respect to the noise radiation of vehicles.

Prof. Biermann has published more than 150 scientific papers on international conferences and in scientific journals worldwide.

Abstract of Speech:

The improvement of energy efficiency as well as the reduction of energy/fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are important requirements for the development of new vehicles. Typical for emerging markets like China and India is a strongly growing demand for individual mobility. The increasing number of vehicles however leads to more exhaust emissions and traffic noise. In cities with a large number of inhabitants in particular, the health conditions and living quality could be reduced significantly. In this context the public transport system plays an important role. Subject of this paper is the presentation of Hybrid city buses for public transport.

After a short introduction of the long-term history of fka in terms of “Alternative Vehicle Propulsion Systems”, the general advantages and disadvantages of Hybrid powertrains will be discussed. In the following the different basic architectures of hybrid powertrains will be explained. Within this context the challenges in terms of the development of new components as well as the design of energy – and thermo – management concepts will be explained. Finally some hybrid buses of European OEM′s and one fleet test project as an example will be introduced.
