Abstract

A hybrid powertrain system of a planer, the hybrid powertrain system comprising an internal combustion engine, a rotor/cutter mechanically coupled with the internal combustion engine, a generator mechanically coupled with the internal combustion engine, an energy storage system including an energy module having at least one energy storage cell, wherein the energy module is electrically coupled with the generator and configured to receive power from and be charged by the generator, an electric motor in electrical communication with the energy module, the electric motor mechanically coupled with the rotor/cutter, and a powertrain controller in electrical communication with the internal combustion engine and the energy storage system. The powertrain controller is configured for controlling delivery of electrical power from the energy storage system to the rotor/cutter while controlling delivery of mechanical power from the internal combustion engine to the rotor/cutter.
