Abstract: The hybrid power multiple units breaks through the traditional mode. It is neither like the diesel multiple units(DMU) nor like the electric multiple units(EMU). It is a new type of multiple units with hybrid power model and can run on different lines. The hybrid power technology is one of the key technologies of the hybrid power multiple units. Based on the calculation methods of traction force, traction power, traction motor torque and capacity of traction system components, a matching calculation method was proposed for the hybrid power system considering the vehicle dynamic performance requirements. A set of hybrid power system configuration was obtained for the target vehicle through this matching calculation method. It was proved that the set of hybrid power system configuration could meet the vehicle dynamic performance requirements by simulation.
