Experimental Investigations on Hybrid Vehicle

Abstract

Electric driving is one of the main courses in energy science. It represents the relationship between an electric motor as a tool to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and between a managed or mechanical device that drives it through belts or gears. In the current research, a three-phase synchronous motor 1200 Watt was used to drag an electric vehicle with a rated load of 150 kg and at a speed of up to 40 km per hour. Transmission from the electric motor to the vehicle's tires is done through a gear to rotate the wheels of the vehicle. Batteries are used to store continuous electrical power from a 220-volt alternating power source using the DC/AC inverter. Solar energy 150 Watt has also been used by using a solar panel placed on the roof of the vehicle. Mechanical energy has also been used by mechanical pedal. The vehicle was tested on a flat and sloping road in Baquba / Diyala province / Iraq. The efficiency tests proved the acceleration and balance of the car are good and matched with the theoretical calculations.

Mechanical and Electrical Design Calculations of Hybrid Vehicles

“…(19), where N is the speed in rpm unit [5]: where according to the real specification of the 3PSM, the torque of the motor can be calculated using Eqs. (1) and 2:…”

“…Electric cars as many people have seen have acquired a great significance because it is an alternative future way for transmission due their features. In spite of that, there are three difficulties that face the evaluation of the electric cars: long time of charging, cost of batteries, and limited driving ranges [1][2][3]. The great developments in power electronic inverters which are used as a main controller inside the electric cars have given a step frontward [4,5].…”
