Hybrid Combat Electric vehicle

Project Title

Hybrid Combat Electric vehicle

Project Area of Specialization Mechatronics EngineeringProject Summary

Three versions of hybrid-electric vehicle propulsion systems are currently evaluated under different programs. The “Series Hybrid Electric Drive (HED)” decouples the diesel engine from the wheels, driving each axel or wheel by an electrical motor. Typical examples of Series HED are the AHED and SEP combat vehicles, developed for future armored vehicle programs, and the future tactical truck (FTTV). This configuration is viewed as more suitable for weapon carriers, missile launchers (such as HIMARS, LOSAT, Patriot and MEADS). Elimination of the heavy mechanical drive train reduces the total weight of the vehicle and enables more flexible “packaging” of a mission system. Further advantage is the ability to be stationed on “silent watch” for extended periods or driven in “stealth” movement (battery powered). This feature is absent from comercial ‘hybrid cars’ applications, due to the high cost of battery and motors, required for extended propulsion of the vehicle.
 

Project Objectives

 1. Conceptual / System Design of Full-Hybrid Tracked Vehicle (FYP-I)

2. Modeling & Simulation of Vehicle Electrical elements, motors, battery, ICE run Generator, etc (FYP-II)

3. Component matching of Vehicle Electrical elements, motors, battery, ICE run Generator, etc (FYP-II)

4. Assembling of Vehicle Electrical elements, motors, battery, ICE run Generator, etc on to the Vehicle Structure made by Group-1(FYP-II)

5. Testing & Debugging of Vehicle Electrical elements, motors, battery, ICE run Generator, etc (FYP-III)

6. Testing & Debugging of complete Full-Hybrid Tracked Vehicle (FYP-III)

Project Implementation Method

The method for the implementation of this project includes firstly the design of a prototype on solid works with proper dimensioning .After this the project will be divided into three aspects :

1) mechanical portion

2) Electrical portion

3 ) Control system

Benefits of the Project

This project has got great significance in the defense organizations of our country. This tank will mainly reduce the fuel cost and will provide more accuracy and durability.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The tank will be driven by hybrid batteries which will be charged from the generator and an engine will be placed inorder to provide required torque and power to the generator .
