Problem Statement
Develop the Tractive System for Redhawk Racing’s Formula Electric Car
FSAE Electric Vehicle
Electric race car for collegiate competition. The rear assembly is pictures.
Objectives
Design and assemble the motor, motor controller, charging solution, battery pack, and battery management system
Abide by the rules, regulations, and safety requirements stated in the FSAE 2023 rulebook
Work through supply chain issues to source the necessary components for this project
Gaining a business understanding as related to the engineering project
Accomplishments
Outlined the HV system development for an EV to assist with Redhawk Racing’s goal of establishing an FSAE EV program at Miami University.
Focus on powertrain selection, battery sizing, and liquid cooling system.
Components: Emrax 188 MV motor, Cascadia PM100DXR controller, Orion BMS2, and Enepaq VTC6 cells.
HV Battery utilizes 82 eight-cell modules with 7.32 kWh total capacity.
Single-loop liquid cooling system for water damage protection.
Future Work
Project Goal: Design the powertrain for an FSAE electric formula car, achieved within budget constraints.
Progress: Powertrain assembled with currently available resources.
Future Tasks: Wire the HV battery and integrate powertrain with the car's safety systems.
Outlook: Provides foundation for future students to continue the project.
