COURSE OBJECTIVE
To learn the environmental impact and history of Electric Vehicles.
Hazardous air pollutants are the chemical compounds that are emitted by trunks, cars, gas pumps, and
other related sources.
Carbon monoxide is formed by the combustion of fuels such as gasoline. It is both colourless and odourless
gas. When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it can block the transport of oxygen to the brain, heart, and other
important organs in the body.
Particulate matter- These possess a serious threat to human health as they penetrate into the human lungs
and can cause serious breathing problems. A type of particulate matter is soot seen in motor vehicles.
Nitrogen oxides- Oxides of nitrogen can cause irritation in the lungs and weaken the body’s defence against
respiratory infections like pneumonia.
Particulate matter - a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air that contribute to
atmospheric haze and can damage your lungs and get into your bloodstream.
Carbon monoxide (CO) - cars emit carbon monoxide when fuel is burned. Breathing air with a high
concentration of CO affects critical organs like your heart and brain. According to the Environmental
Protection Agency, as much as 95 percent of all CO emissions in cities may come from motor vehicle
exhaust.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) - when fuel burns, nitrogen and oxygen react with each other and form nitrogen
oxides (NOx). Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) forms from emissions from cars, trucks, buses, power plants and
off-road equipment. Breathing air with a high concentration of NO2 can affect the respiratory system.
Un burned HCs
Unburned HCs are the result of the incomplete combustion of Hydro carbons.
HC is a chemical compound made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms .
Unburned HCs may be harmful to living things.
Sun’s ultraviolet radiation interacts with unburned HCs abd NO to form ozone and other products.
It is dangerous and poisonous. It attacks membranes of living things causing them to die.
Other pollutants
Sulfur is the main impurity found in diesel and jet fuel
Sulfur with oxygen releases sulfur oxides

COURSE OBJECTIVE
To understand the concept of Electric Vehicle and its types
Construction

1. Electric propulsion sub system
a. Electronic controller
b. Power converter
c. Electric motor
d. Mechanical transmission
e. Driving wheels
2. Energy source sub system

➢ Electric motor is placed within the wheel
➢ Fixed gear is used to reduce the speed
Fig(F)
➢ Gear is removed by a low-speed motor on the wheel rim
➢ Speed control of the motor is equivalent to wheel speed that is vehicle speed.
In EV drive train design, the following parameters are to be primarily considered to meet the performance
specification.
1. Proper motor power rating,
2. Transmission. etc.
The various design of all the above parameters depends mostly on Torque characteristics (speed-power
characteristics) of the traction motor.
The fig shows the Torque characteristics of the traction motor 60 kW motor at full load.
The electric motor starts from the zero speed, increases to its base speed, the voltage increases to its rated
value, while flux remains constant. Beyond the base speed, the voltage remains constant and the flux is
weakened.
So, the result is constant output power while the torque declines hyperbolically with speed.
It is clear that with a long constant power region, the maximum torque of the motor can be significantly
increased, and hence vehicle acceleration and gradeability performance can be improved and the
transmission can be simplified.
The tractive effort (power) and vehicle speed variations in various traffic environments are unable to
describe easily.
Where
Eout =Energy consumption from batteries,
Pb-out =Battery power Output,
Pb-in = Regenerative braking power at battery terminals.
Definition of HEV
A Hybrid Electric Vehicle is a type of vehicle that uses a combination of an Internal Combustion (IC) engine
and an electric propulsion system.
The electric powertrain may enhance fuel efficiency, increase performance, or independently propel the
vehicle on pure electric power, depending on the type of hybrid system.
Power Train 1 = Liquid Fuel – IC Engine & Power Train 2 = Battery – Electric Machine
2. Electric motor
The secondary power source of an HEV is the electric motor. It assists the engine during initial
acceleration to improve performance and fuel economy.
3. Battery pack
A battery pack powers the electric motor. Basically, it acts as a fuel tank for the battery, wherein it stores
the electrical energy via regenerative braking and the generator driven by the IC engine.
The battery pack can also power auxiliary electrical components such as lights
4. Generator
It is an essential component found in the series hybrid vehicle. We will touch upon what series hybrid is
in the upcoming sections.
A generator draws power from the IC engine to power the electric motor and charge the battery, pack.
In simple words, a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
5. Transmission
Typically, hybrid vehicles use conventional transmissions similar to petrol or diesel cars.
It transmits the power produced by the IC engine to the drive shaft.
The basic working principle of transmission remains the same, even in an HEV.
It is one of the crucial components required to propel the vehicle.
6. Fuel tank
Similar to a conventional car, hybrid electric vehicles also have a fuel tank to store the conventional fuel.
With the electric powertrain involved in a hybrid car, the fuel consumption will be comparatively less
than a vehicle purely relying on an IC engine.
Advantages of HEV
Low toxic exhaust emission.
Distance covered by HEV is high. It has different modes of operation.
Disadvantages of HEV
Need efficient energy management system to optimize the energy sources.
A series hybrid drive train is a drive train where two power sources feed a single powerplant (electric motor)
Operation
Series hybrid electric drive trains potentially have the following operation modes:
1. Pure electric mode: The engine is turned off and the vehicle is propelled only by the batteries.
2. Pure engine mode: The vehicle traction power only comes from the engine-generator, while the batteries
neither supply nor draw any power from the drive train. The electric machines serve as an electric
transmission from the engine toto the driven wheels.
3. Hybrid mode: The traction power is drawn from both the engine generator and the batteries.
4. Engine traction and battery charging mode: The engine generator supplies power to charge the batteries
and to propel the vehicle.
5. Regenerative braking mode: The engine-generator is turned off and the traction motor is operated as a
generator. The power generated is used to charge the batteries.
6. Battery charging mode: The traction motor receives no power and the engine-generator charges the
batteries.
7. Hybrid battery charging mode: Both the engine-generator and the traction motor operate as generators
to charge the batteries.
Advantages:
It can be operated on any point in the speed - torque characteristics map.
Capable of attaining zero emission
Long life time.
Fast response.
It does not require multigear transmission.
Disadvantages:
The generator adds additional weight and cost.
The traction motor must be sized to meet maximum requirements.
Operation
The mechanical combination of the engine and electric motor power leaves room for several different
configurations. In this system, both the engine and electric motor work parallel to propel the vehicle.
The engine and the electric motor deliver optimum power for the efficient functioning of the vehicle.
The battery pack gets charged via regenerative braking.
Regenerative braking is a process of utilizing the kinetic energy produced while slowing the vehicle down
to charge the battery pack.
Advantages
Smaller ICE are required.
More flexibility.
Capable of attaining zero emission. Disadvantages
It is expensive.
It has more complex to control.
Disadvantages
Expensive
Complex Control
Requirements of Proper algorithms
Need of high voltage to ensure efficiency
Operation
As it combines the features of series - parallel hybrid systems, the operation modes are classified into two
categories.
♦ Internal combustion engine dominated mode ♦ Electric motor dominated mode
In startup condition electric motor provides the traction power and the internal combustion engine remains
in the off state. At full throttle condition both the ICE and EM share the required traction power.
The vehicle is in normal driving the required traction is provided by the ICE only and the EM remains in the
off state when it is in ICE dominated mode, while in EM dominated mode both ICE and EM provides the
traction Power
When applying the break, the EM act as a generator to charge the battery. ICE delivers the required traction
power and also charge the battery through generator and charge battery during driving.
Advantages
It has the both the advantages of series - Parallel hybrid vehicles.
It can be operated at any point of the speed – torque characteristics map.
Long life time.
Rapid response.
It has More flexibility.
Disadvantages
Initial cost is high.
It requires more maintenance.
More complicated drive train system.
Operation
We can identify several operating modes also for the mixed hybrid:
start and low speed, in which the ICE is off and the traction power entirely depends on the battery. This is
the pattern: normal traction: the heat engine, via the PSD, supplies power directly to the wheels and the MG1.
Then this one powers the MG2 that provides, through the silent chain (look at the second picture above),
additional power to the wheels. So the functioning is simultaneously in series and in parallel:
Advantages
Achieve a greater efficiency
Disadvantages
The presence of several electrical machines makes the electronic control of the entire powertrain more
difficult.
These vehicles cannot in general be recharged from the grid.
The motors used in EVS and HEVS usually require frequent starts and stops, high rates of acceleration/
deceleration, high torque and low-speed hill climbing, low torque and high-speed cruising, and a very wide
speed range of operation.
The motor drives for EVS and HEVS can be classified into two main groups, namely the commutator motors
and commutator less motors as illustrated in Figure.
Commutator motors mainly are the traditional DC motors, which include series excited, shunt excited,
compound excited, separately excited, and permanent magnet (PM) excited motors.
DC motors need commutators and brushes to feed current into the armature, thus making them less reliable
and unsuitable for maintenance-free operation and high speed.
In addition, winding excited DC motors have low specific power density. Nevertheless, because of their
mature technology and simple control, DC motor drives have been prominent in electric propulsion systems.
DC motor drives have been widely used in applications requiring adjustable speed, good speed regulation,
and frequent starting, braking and reversing.
Various DC motor drives have been widely applied to different electric traction applications because of their
technological maturity and control simplicity.
Construction:
It can be constructed in different physical configurations. Depending on the stator windings these can be
configured as 1Ø, 2Ø or 3Ø motors.
This motor has stator and rotor parts as like all other motors.
The stator is made up of stacked steel laminations to carry the windings. these windings can be arrange in
either star or delta.
Principle:
It consists of brushless DC machine, DSP Base controller and power electronics-based power converter.
The position sensors H1, H2 and H3 sense the position of the machine rotor.
The rotor position information is fed to the DSP based controller.
It supplies acting signals to the power converter by turning ON and OFF the proper stator pole windings of
the machine
Working:
The current carrying conductor is stationary while the permanent rotor moves.
When the stator coils are electrically switched by a supply source, it becomes electromagnet and starts
Advantages:
High efficiency
High level control is needed

1. Container
The container of the lead acid battery is made of glass, lead lined wood, ebonite, the hard rubber of
bituminous compound, ceramic materials or moulded plastics and are seated at the top to avoid the
discharge of electrolyte.
At the bottom of the container, there are four ribs, on two of them rest the positive plate and the others
support the negative plates.
2. Plate
The plate of the lead-acid cell is of diverse design and they all consist some form of a grid which is
made up of lead and the active material.
The grid is essential for conducting the electric current and for distributing the current equally on the
active material. If the current is not uniformly distributed, then the active material will loosen and fall
out.
3. Active Material
The material in a cell which takes active participation in a chemical reaction (absorption or evolution of
electrical energy) during charging or discharging is called the active material of the cell.
The active elements of the lead acid are
1. Lead peroxide (PbO2) – It forms the positive active material. The PbO2 are dark chocolate broom
in colour.
3. Separators
The separators are thin sheets of non-conducting material made up of chemically treated leadwood,
porous rubbers, or mats of glass fibre and are placed between the positive and negative to insulate them
from each other.
Separators are grooved vertically on one side and are smooth on the other side.
4. Battery Terminals
A battery has two terminals the positive and the negative.
The positive terminal with a diameter of 17.5 mm at the top is slightly larger than the negative terminal
which is 16 mm in diameter.

Cell connectors are used to connect the individual cells in series to achieve the desired voltage.
Disadvantages:
1nitial cost is high.
The voltage of each cell is only 1.2 V which is less compared to lead acid battery (2 V). Hence more
number of cells required for the same capacity of lead acid battery. Relatively less efficient.
2. Nickel-Cadmium battery
This battery also uses a nickel (III) hydroxy-oxide
(NIOOH) as positive electrode and the combination
with metallic cadmium as negative electrode.
A concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide
containing lithium hydroxide acts as electrolyte.

of nickel oxide and the negative electrode is zinc
metal.
This type of battery exhibits a higher energy density
(by about 25%) than Ni–Cd batteries.
Ni–Zn batteries have a higher energy-to-mass ratio
and power-to-mass ratio than conventional lead
batteries.
As a result, Ni–Zn battery systems have good
potential for utilization in renewable energy systems,
in part for environmental reasons.
Advantages Disadvantages

2. Lithium-ion Battery
Lithium-ion cell is a type of rechargeable cell. It is, made up of an anode, cathode, separator, electrolyte, and
two current collectors (positive and negative).
Working
The anode and cathode store the lithium.
The electrolyte carries positively charged lithium ions from the anode to the cathode and vice versa through
the separator Lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode during discharge.
The ions move in reverse direction during charging.

To configure the batteries with a series connection, each battery must have a same voltage and capacity
rating, otherwise the batteries may be damaged.
To connect the group of batteries in series, we connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative
terminal of another battery and so on until all batteries are connected.
The series connection of batteries is illustrated in the figure.
The positive and negative terminals of any one battery acts as the lead terminals of the battery pack.
The battery parallel connection is illustrated in the fig.
For example, if we connect three 6V, 100 Ah batteries, we got the total capacity as 6V, 300 Ah.
The combination of series and parallel connection of batteries is illustrated in the fig.3.8. Here six
batteries are totally connected. The batteries 1 and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6 are individually connected in
series.
The combinations of 1 and 4, 2 and 5 and 3 and 6 are connected in parallel.
For example, if we will connect six numbers of 6V, 100 Ah batteries together as shown in the figure, we
got the total capacity of battery as, 12V. 300 Ah.
3. Trickle Charging
Trickle charge is a continuous charge at a low rate, to maintain the battery in a fully charged condition.
The normal charging current in trickle charge is one ampere.
The battery is permanently connected across the trickle charger circuit.
Trickle charging is not suitable for charging completely discharged batteries.
Disadvantages
1. More complex
2. Costly
3.5 DC Charging
DC charging is the method of charging the DC current directly into the battery. The DC charging or so called
fast charging is done using a DC charging station, which can charge the alternating current (ac) to direct
current (dc).
It then 'bypass' the on-board charger of the electric car and send this dc (direct current) via battery
management system (BMS) to the battery.
A charging station using DC power is much faster than an AC charging station as there is less resistance for
the current to flow.
Advantages
Fast charging.
Solar charging is possible
Disadvantages
Expensive to install than an AC charging station.
Advantages
1. Protected connections
2. No corrosion
3. No cables or plugs
4. Intermittent recharging
5. Low infection risk
6. Durability
7. Increase convenience
8. Aesthetic quality
9. Automated high power inductive charging
10. Automatic operation
Disadvantages
1. Slower charging
2. More expensive
3. Less efficient.
Applications
1. Smart phones.
2. Smart watchs.
3. Tablets
4. EVS.
Effects of EV Electric vehicles are not just the wave of the future, they are saving the lives today. The various
effects of EV are,
1. Least partially powered by electricity.
2. Saving the climate.
3. Saving the lives.
4. Has only smaller carbon footprint.
5. Better for the climate. 6. Can be charged anywhere.
7. Truly clean vehicle.
8. Zero-emission vehicle.
9. Less environmental pollution
Negative Impacts
EVS are considered to be high power loads.
They affect the power distribution system directly.
The distribution transformer, cables and fuses are affected. A Nissan Leaf with a 24KWh battery pack can
consume power similar to a single European household.
A 3.3KW charger in a 220V, 15A system can raise the current demand by 17% to 25%.
The situation gets quite alarming if charging is done during peak hours.
This may overload the system, damage the system equipment, tripping of protection relays and
subsequently the infrastructure cost may be increased.
Positive Impacts
EVS can prove to be quite useful to the power system in a number of ways, discussed below.
(a) Smart Grid
In the smart grid system, intelligent communication and decision making is incorporated with the
grid structure.
Smart grid is highly regarded future of power
grids.
It offers a vast array of advantages to offer
reliable power supply and advanced control.
The integration of EVs and smart grid can
facilitate opportunities like V2G and better
integration of renewable energy.
(b) V2G
V2G or Vehicle to Grid is a method where the
EV can provide power to the grid. In this
system, the vehicles act as loads when they
are drawing energy and it can become
dynamic energy storage by feeding back the
energy to the grid.
COURSE OUTCOME
Illuminate the Energy Storages, Charging & Effects and Impacts.
