PhD Research Project :


In modern days the importance of electric vehicle(EV) is increasing due to emission free mechanism. Also Electrical machines has following advantages over IC engines

 With advancement in motor design in recent years many motor like Induction, BLDC, SRM are coming ahead for best options for EV. Out of this all BLDC motor provides the convincing characteristics compared to other machines. And can be the used as traction for EV’s.

Reliable robust and fault tolerant drive control is important part of EV, so research in the advance electric-drive is challenging. This investigation deals with dynamic modeling of BLDC motor, considering the automotive load scenario like Road profiles, drive cycles etc., then drive operations and model based control strategy.

Eventually control technique will be realized on FPGA or Micro-controller platform and simulation results will be validated against experimental setup.

 


M Tech Projects : 

●      Auxiliary energy system for Electric vehicle (Ultracapacitor) (DELPHI project)

        Tools used: MSP430, MATLAB (SIMULINK), MULTISIM, MAXWELL’s Super-capacitors, LAB-VIEW

The main purpose of this project is to reduce the deterioration of the battery, and increase the power capacity of total system with the help of ultra-capacitors. So it will help in acceleration mode, to provide boost, and in all increase the system performance.


●      Wireless CAN control for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems 

         Tools Used: Freescale HCS 12, Code warrior 

Data transmission through wireless medium, E.g. producing Gateway between CAN and Wi-Fi, which controls the CAN, network wirelessly. Advantage: It will provide a hassle-free control of CAN Implemented subsystem in automobiles. 

·●     Vehicle Platoon 

        Tools Used: HCS12 controller, Freescale smart car, Bluetooth module -BT2416, IR sensors 

Implementation of the principle on lab scale models (smart car), and establishing the communication between two smart car using Bluetooth.
