| Summary: | Internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEVs) has been around for more than a century.
However, the efficiency of ICEV is considered low, only 30% of the energy formed
in the ICE combustion reaction is changed into mechanical power and the majority
which is 70% of the energy is vanished into the form of exhaust gases heat. The
exhaust gases are consists of mostly of carbon dioxide (CO2) and a smaller amount of
nitrogen oxides (NOX), hydrocarbons (CXHY), carbon monoxide (CO) and others.
Decreasing the dependency on fossil fuels burned in an ICE will directly impact
environmental effects and increase the healthiness of human.
Nowadays, pure Electric Vehicle (EV) and hybrid EV are obtainable by world’s
greatest carmakers because they are significant potential for use in urban areas. Their
power consumption ranges from approximately 10% to 70% lower than that of a
comparable ICE car, depending on their power, size of battery, control approach, etc.
In city traffic, because of their positive effect on environment, electric vehicle are a
key factor for improvement of traffic and more particularly for an improved living
environment.
A very efficient energy-management system for electric vehicle will be developed
and tested. The system minimizes the power requirement of the vehicle and extends
the driving range of an electric vehicle. The intention of this project is to develop the
energy management system within the electric vehicle to be able to monitor vehicle
performance. The energy management system monitors the battery current, battery
voltage, temperature, vehicle performance, power consumption, state of charge
(SOC) of the battery, and gives feedback in terms of actions that need to do by driver.
It will be implemented using National Instruments Compact-RIO hardware and
programmed in LabVIEW, graphical application development environment. |
