Genetic Algorithm

An electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses an electric motor for propulsion. It is controlled by an electric controller and powered by a battery pack. Due to the increased consumption of gasoline and pollutions caused by conventional vehicles in the late 20 and 21st century, vehicles powered by alternate fuels like CNG,…

Battery management systems (BMS) are electronic control circuits that monitor and regulate the charging and discharge of batteries. The battery characteristics to be monitored include the detection of battery type, voltages, temperature, capacity, state of charge, power consumption, remaining operating time, charging cycles,…

Aim: What is the difference between the mapped and dynamic model of engine, motor and generator? How can you change the model type?  How does the model calculate miles per gallon? Which factors are considered to model fuel flow?  Run the HEV ReferenceApplication with WOT drive cycle. Change the grade and wind…

Question 1: Which types of power converter circuits are employed in an electric and hybrid electric vehicle?    AC to DC converter(Rectifiers): App: EV charger(battery) Here, in plug-in type electric or hybrid electric vehicle, the external power source is also used to charge the battery. The battery…

Question 1: For a defined driving cycle, calculate the energy required for braking.   The driving cycle used In here is, New York drive cycle we know that the braking energy = `1/2*mass*(V_f-V_i)` Approximately, we could find 30-35 decelerations from the NY city cycle graph. To determine the Braking energy at…

Question 1: Run MATLAB demo ‘Speed control of a DC motor using BJT H-bridge’. Modify the model such that armature current doesn’t shoot up when motor changes direction from forward to reverse.    The above model is an example that shows the simulation of H-bridge used to generate a chopped…

1. Lithium-ion batteries are batteries that function based on the transfer of lithium ions between a cathode and an anode. Lithium-ion batteries have higher specific energies than batteries made from other materials such as zinc and lead due to the relatively lightweight and low density of lithium. Lithium batteries are…

Aim: Search and list out the total weight of various types of aircraft.  Is there any difference between ground speed and airspeed?  Why is it not recommended to use aircraft engine power to move it on the ground at the Airport?  How an aircraft is pushed to the runway when it's ready to take off?  …

Objectives: Use ADVISOR tool and simulate the following: 1. For EV_defaults_in file, if cargo mass is 500 kg with all other default conditions, can the vehicle travel for 45 km with FTP drive cycle? Conclude your observations. 2. In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation. 3. Perform…
