Elwctric Vehicle with regenerative braking and battery protection system
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummaryAs the basic law of Physics says ‘energy can neither be created nor be destroyed it can only be converted from one form to another’. During huge amount of energy is lost to atmosphere as heat. It will be good if we could store this energy somehow which is otherwise getting wasted out and reuse it next time we started to accelerate. Regenerative braking refers to a system in which the kinetic energy of the vehicle is stored temporarily, as an accumulative energy, during deceleration, and is reused as kinetic energ during acceleration or running. Regenerative braking is a small, yet very important, step toward our eventual independence from fossil fuels. These kinds of brakes allow batteries to be used for longer periods of time without the need to be plugged into an external charger. These types of brakes also extend the driving range of fully electric vehicles. Regenerative braking is a way to extend range of the electric vehicles. In many hybrid vehicles cases, this system is also applied hybrid vehicles to improve fuel economy. A normal car is only about 20% efficient, meaning some 80% of the energy it expends is wasted as heat created by friction. Regenerative braking could reclaim as much as half of as that wasted energy, which equates into more motion produced by the fuel we are paying for instead of using that fuel to create heat that is being dissipated uselessly into the environment. The limitation of regenerative is that it can only slow down the slow moving vehicle and for instant braking in order to bring vehicle into halt we use improved version of conventional braking in which we have inserted thermoelectric generator which uses the heat produce during fast braking and make electricity.
Project ObjectivesThe regenerative braking system delivers several significant advantages over a car that only has friction brakes. In low-speed, stop- and-go traffic where little deceleration is required; the regenerative braking system can provide the majority of the total braking force. This vastly improves fuel economy with a vehicle, and further enhances the attractiveness of vehicles using regenerative braking for city driving. At higher speeds, too, regenerative braking has been shown to contribute to improved fuel economy – by as much as 20%.
Project Implementation MethodFirst we will conduct some research on our respective project and make simulation (software) and make a record of result and values obtain from software. After software work, we will design the respective circuits and implement it on hardware. After it we optimize it and troubleshoot if any. Procedure of designing of modules and circuits of our project are below:
SOFTWARE/HARDWARE:
1) Buck Boost Converter
2) Inverter.
3)Thermoelectric Disc Generator
4) Battery Protection circuit + Coding.
5) Fabrication.
