Electric Energy Consumption of Bang-bang System and PID Control for Wiper System of Electric City Car

Abstract

The technology developments in automotive are so fast. One of the supporting component in automotive is wiper system that acts as a cleaning water on the windscreen and the rear of the car. To give more convenience of drivers, the automatic wiper system is developed. The bang-bang system and the PID controller are simulated and applied to determine the response system and the level of energy consumption. In this work, the developed wiper system is installed in electric cars, in which the energy source comes from the battery. The results of the comparison between the simulation and application of bang-bang system and PID controller in terms of the response system and electricity consumption are used as the basis for selecting the automatic wiper system. The results indicate that the PID controller provides better response system and level of energy consumption compared to the bang-bang system, in which it is currently applied in most cars.
