Analysis and implementation of Electric Car using the VFD
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryThe conversion process of an internal combustion engine to an electric vehicle powered by batteries comprises many steps from choosing the vehicle, sizing a motor, and the type of batteries. This project takes a (Mehran Car) and converts it to an all-electric car with a DC motor and lead Lithium batteries. The power steering and power low power components (LEDs, Etc) will be used for lowering the overall power consumption of the car. Operating a battery-electric vehicle will eliminate emissions inside our cities and reduce our dependence on oil. The energy used for our electric transportation will be as diverse as the electrical grid obtaining energy from coal, natural gas, nuclear, and some renewable forms. During the infancy of the automobile, electric and gasoline vehicles competed for dominance of the market. The all-electric vehicle lost because of the lack of range from current battery technology. Until recently, the electric car was dormant. The number of electric vehicles on the roads is increasing every year as people become more environmentally conscious and gasoline prices are volatile.
