Week-7 Challenge: DC Motor Control

Modelling of Electric Rickshaw using Simulink Electric rickshaws (also known as electric tuk-tuks or e-rickshaws or toto or e-tricycles) have been becoming more popular in some cities since 2008 as an alternative to auto rickshaws and pulled rickshaws because of their low fuel…

Qn 1.) Create a MATLAB model of electric car which uses a battery and a DC motor. Choose suitable blocks from Powertrain block set. Prepare a report about your model including following: Electric cars are predicted to be the next disruptive market force for transportation and technology. They have the potential to revolutionize…

PART A Qn.1) Search and list out the total weight of various types of aircrafts.  Definitions: Maximum Take off Weight (MTOW)  The maximum takeoff weight (also known as the maximum brake-release weight) is the maximum weight authorised at brake release for takeoff, or at the start of the takeoff roll.…

Qn.1)For a defined driving cycle, calculate the energy required for braking. Let us consider a arbitrary driving cycle: From the graph, let us analyse few instants of braking to find the braking energy. 1.) 41 Km/hr to 31 Km/hr in 5 seconds 2.) 90 Km/hr to 40 Km/hr in 4 seconds 3.) 116 Km/hr to 25 Km/hr in 22 seconds 4.)…

Qn 1a.)Explain a MATLAB demo model named ‘Speed control of a DC motor using BJT H-bridge’. First of all, let us understand the basic concept of speed control using H bridge configuration. Most DC motors have two terminals because they are series type (armature and field windings are connected in series) DC…

Qn. 1)Which types of power converter circuits are employed in electric and hybrid electric vehicle? The power converter circuits that are used in electric and hybrid electric vehicles are: 1.Rectifier: Rectifier is a power electronic circuit that converts electric power from AC to DC. They are majorly used in battery charging…

Qn. 1)What is the difference between mapped and dynamic model of engine, motor and generator? How can you change model type?  Mapped and dynamic models are options that are available in the Power Train blockset. Powertrain Blockset provides fully assembled reference application models of automotive powertrains, including…

ADvanced VehIcle SimulatOR (ADVISOR): An advanced vehicle simulator model called ADVISOR has been developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to allow system-level analysis and trade-off studies of advanced vehicles. Because of ADVISOR's fast execution speed and the open programming environment of MATLAB/Simulink,…

Aim: To carry out a system level simulation of an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) model and find its properties All terrain Vehicle The term ATV stands for All Terrain Vehicle. It is also known as a quad or quadricycle type vehicle. An All-Terrain motor vehicle could have three, four or even six wheels. Unlike a motorcycle,…

Qn. 1)Implementation of control logic of a washing machine using state flow Objective To implement control logic of a “washing machine” using Stateflow as per given sequence:  If the power supply is available, the system gets activated  If the Water supply is not available, stop the process & indicate through LED Soaking…

Qn. 1) Simulink Model of Doorbell Aim: To make a simulink model of doorbell using 'solenoid' block. Theory of Solenoid: A solenoid is just an electromagnet where the coiled wire surrounds a metal piston. The piston contains magnetically conductive metal, so it can be moved backward or forward by the electromagnetic…
