MUEV Phase III
By: Kevin Jaris & Nathan Golick
Introduction
• Petroleum is a finite resource.
• Demand for clean energy is driving the increase in the production of electric cars.
• Improvements in regenerative braking techniques will increase the range and efficiency of electric cars.
Regenerative Braking
• Cars generally dissipate kinetic energy via friction braking.
• Regenerative braking recovers a significant amount of the kinetic energy.
• Energy returned to battery.
• Increases range per charge.
Past Work Phase I
• Design a prototype electric vehicle test platform for testing with the following specifications:– Minimum round trip distance of 25 miles– Maximum speed of 40 mph– Operate within temperature range of -10˚F to 100˚F– Acquire and display data from the motor and battery
subsystems– Operate within a curb weight of 800 to 1800 lbs
Past Work Phase II
Modeling • Battery • DC Motor • Controller • Vehicle Dynamics • Loads
– A/C – Lighting – Heat
Verify and Optimize Vehicle Model • Perform data acquisition • Adjust model until desired performance is achieved. • Compare experimental and simulated outputs of
subsystems
Original Project Goals
• Design and simulate power electronics
• Build power electronics
• Test power electronics in lab
• Connect to DC motor/generator
• Create braking profile
• Model in Simulink
• Investigate variable speed drive
Functional Description
• The DC motor/generator produces a back EMF voltage during regenerative braking.
• Back EMF voltage is the input to the boost converter.
• The boost converter output is 43 volts.
• Output voltage charges batteries.
Performance Specifications
• Generate a constant 43 volt output voltage while in regenerative braking mode
• Braking voltages range from about 5 to 35 volts.
• System designed for minimal project construction costs.
