Unit –I ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND
HISTORY OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE TYPES

COURSE OBJECTIVE
To learn the environmental impact and history of Electric Vehicles.

1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND HISTORY

1.1.1 Environmental impact of conventional vehicle


 The 'conventional vehicles (e.g. conventional cars) are equipped with an engine that runs on energy
generated by burning fossil fuel.
 The environmental effects of conventional vehicle is significant because transport is a major user
of energy and burns most of the world's petroleum.
 This creates air pollution, including nitrous oxides and particulates. It is the significant contributor
to global warming through emission of carbon-dioxide.
The various negative impact that motor vehicles (conventional vehicles) have on the environment
are,
1. Air pollution
2. Climate change (Global warming)
3. Exhausts of automobiles
4. Fenciline community
5. Jaywalking
6. Rapid depletion of earth's petroleum resources, etc.
Some environmental impact of using conventional vehicles.
 Automotive pollutants directly and indirectly have adverse health effects on their discharge into
the atmosphere should be controlled
 Hydrocarbon emissions from the fuel system that emits while the vehicle is in operation.
 Particulate matter in the air alone is responsible for up to 30,000 premature deaths every year.

1.1.2 Air Pollution


 At present all vehicle rely on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels to drive the energy necessary for
their pollution.
 Combustion is a reaction between the fuel and the air that releases heat and combustion products.
 An engine converts the heat into mechanical power. The combustion products are release into
atmosphere.

Causes of air pollution


 The Burning of Fossil Fuels
 Industrial Emission.
 Indoor Air Pollution.
 Wildfires.
 Microbial Decaying Process.
 Transportation.
 Open Burning of Garbage Waste

Hazardous air pollutants are the chemical compounds that are emitted by trunks, cars, gas pumps, and
other related sources.

7|Page PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


Sulfur dioxide is another main pollutant that is released into the environment when the sulfur present in
the fuel burns, especially diesel. It possesses a health risk to most children and can even lead to asthma.

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

1.1.3 Petroleum Resources


 Petroleum resources are the estimated quantifies of hydrocarbons naturally occurring on or within
the Earth's crust. It is also reformed as, remaining recoverable hydrocarbons within the earth.
 The proved reserves are "those quantities can be recovered in the future from known reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions".
 Therefore, they do not constitute an indicator of the Earth's total reserves. The proved reserves, as
they are given in the British Petroleum 2001 estimate, are given in billion tons in Table.
 The R/P ratio is the number of years that the proved reserves would last if the production were to
continue at its current level. This ratio is also given in Table for each region.

SL Region Proved reserves in 200 in billion Tons R/P Ratio

REVIEW QUESTIONS
PART A
1. Define environment impact
Environmental impact is defined as any change to the environment whether good or bad, resulting from a
facility activity, product or services. It is the effect that people’s actions have on environment. The negative
impact that motor vehicles causes are 1. Air pollution 2.global warming 3. Decreasing of natural resources
like petroleum

2. Define air pollution


Air pollution is the presence of substances in the atmosphere that are harmful to the health of humans and

UNIT – II ELECTRIC VEHICLES & ELECTRIC PROPULSION SYSTEM

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

2.1 ELECTRIC VEHICLES – Introduction


 An electric vehicle (EV) is one that operates on an electric motor, instead of an internal-combustion engine
that generates power by burning a mix of fuel and gases.
 Therefore, such as vehicle is seen as a possible replacement for current-generation automobile, in order to
address the issue of rising pollution, global warming, depleting natural resources, etc.
 Though the concept of electric vehicles has been around for a long time, it has drawn a considerable amount
of interest in the past decade amid a rising carbon footprint and other environmental impacts of fuel-based
vehicles.

2.1.1 CONFIGURATION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES


 In an EV motor is the only one moving part
 This motor is controlled by different control arrangements
 The motor is powered from energy sources

Construction
EV consisting of three major sub systems
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

22 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


a. Energy source
b. Energy management unit
c. Energy refueling unit
3. Auxiliary sub system
a. Power steering unit
b. Temperature control unit
c. Auxiliary power supply
Operation
 Electronic controller receives the input from brake and accelerator pedals
 It sends signals to energy management unit
 It regulates the power flow between motor and battery
 Electric motors are connected mechanically to the transmission.
 Electric motor drives the wheels.
 The backward power flow is due to regenerative breaking
 Energy is stored in energy source
 The energy management unit controls the regenerative braking
 It also controls refueling and monitor the energy source.
 The auxiliary power supply provides power to all auxiliaries such as temperature control and power steering
units

2.1.2 TYPES OF EV CONFIGURATION


Based on the electric propulsion characteristics and energy sources there are variety of EV configurations

23 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


Fig(A)
➢ ICE is replaced by an electric motor
➢ It consists of motor, clutch, gear box, and differential
➢ Torque generated by motor and transferred to wheels through differential
➢ Differential is a mechanical device to drive the vehicles at different speed

➢ 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.

2.1.3 Performance of Electric Vehicle


A Vehicle's driving performance is evaluated by its,
1. Acceleration time,
2. Maximum speed,
3. Gradeability,
4. Fuel consumption,
5. Braking performance, etc.,

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.

24 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


2.1.4 Tractive effort in normal driving environment?
 In normal driving, the maximum capabilities are rarely used, (during the operation time). The power train
operates with partial load.
 The actual tractive effort (power) and vehicle speed vary widely with various operating conditions, like,
1. Acceleration (or) deceleration,
2. Up hill (or) down hill motion.
3. Traffic environment,
4. Type of vehicles and load involved.

 The tractive effort (power) and vehicle speed variations in various traffic environments are unable to
describe easily.

2.1.5 Energy Consumption


 The energy consumption for the EV is evaluated in the unit kWh/km. The battery energy capacity is usually
measured on kWh and the driving range per battery charge are easily calculated.
 Energy consumption is an integration of the power output at the battery terminals.
 For propelling, battery power output is equal to resistance power and power losses in the transmission and
motor drive, including power losses in electronics.

25 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


Power output = Resistance power + power loss in transmission + Power loss in motor dive + Power loss in electronics

The net energy consumption from the batteries is expressed as,

Eout = ∫𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑃𝑏 − 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑑𝑡 + ∫𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑏 − 𝑖𝑛 𝑑𝑡

Where
Eout =Energy consumption from batteries,
Pb-out =Battery power Output,
Pb-in = Regenerative braking power at battery terminals.

 The fig shows the typical electric motor efficiency characteristics.


 When net battery energy consumption reaches the total energy in the batteries, measured at their terminal,
the batteries are empty and need to be charged.
 The "travelling distance" between two charges (effective travel range) is determined by total energy carried
by
1. The batteries,
2. Resistance power,
3. Effectiveness of regenerative braking

2.1.6 HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES


 Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) overcomes the disadvantages of conventional vehicles and electric vehicles
(battery powered) and has advantages of both conventional and electrical vehicles.
 The HEV uses, two power sources,
1. Primary power sources,
2. Secondary power source.
 HEVs can also be built to use the series configuration at low speeds and the parallel configuration for
highway driving and acceleration.

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.

Concept of Hybrid Electric Drive Trains

Power Train 1 = Liquid Fuel – IC Engine & Power Train 2 = Battery – Electric Machine

26 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


 Basically, any vehicle power train is required to
(1) Develop sufficient power to meet the demands of vehicle performance,
(2) Carry sufficient energy on board to support vehicle in the given range,
(3) Demonstrate high efficiency, and
(4) Emit few environmental pollutants.
 Broadly, a vehicle may have more than one energy source and energy converter (power source), such as a
gasoline (or diesel) heat engine system, hydrogen-fuel cell-electric motor system, chemical battery-electric
motor system, etc.
 A vehicle that has two or more energy sources and energy converters is called a hybrid vehicle.
 A hybrid vehicle with an electrical power train (energy source energy converters) is called an HEV.
 Hybrid drive trains supply the required power by an adapted power train.
 There are many available patterns of combining the power flows to meet load requirements as described
below:

1. Power train 1 alone delivers power to the load


2. Power train 2 alone delivers power to the load
3. Both power train 1 and 2 deliver power to load at the same time
4. Power train 2 obtains power from load (regenerative braking)
5. Power train 2 obtains power from power train 1
6. Power train 2 obtains power from power train 1 and load at the same time
7. Power train 1 delivers power to load and to power train 2 at the same time
8. Power train 1 delivers power to power train 2, and power train 2 delivers power to load
9. Power train 1 delivers power to load, and load delivers power to power train 2.

2.1 7. Architecture of Hybrid Electric Drive trains


 The architecture of a hybrid vehicle is loosely defined as the connection between the components that define
the energy flow routes and control ports.

Key components of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle


 As mentioned before, an HEV combines a conventional engine and electric powertrain. Hence, you can find
engine-related and electric powertrain components in an HEV. Below are the key components of a Hybrid
Electric Vehicle.
1. Internal combustion engine
 The primary power source of an HEV is a conventional engine. Hence, it is the main component
responsible for propelling the vehicle. An HEV cannot run alone on an electric powertrain without an
engine.

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.

27 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


 It runs on electrical energy stored in the battery pack. It can also charge the battery when the vehicle is
braking or coasting via the regenerative braking system.

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.

2.1.7.1 Types of Hybrid Electric Vehicles


There are three types of HEVS based on power deliver and distribution.
1. Series hybrid
2. Parallel hybrid
3. Series-parallel hybrid
4. Complex hybrid

1. Series hybrid Electric drive train

 A series hybrid drive train is a drive train where two power sources feed a single powerplant (electric motor)

28 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


that propels the vehicle.
 The most commonly found series hybrid drive train is the series hybrid electric drive train shown in Figure.
Construction
 The unidirectional energy source is a fuel tank and the unidirectional energy converter is an engine coupled
to an electric generator.
 The output of the electric generator is connected to an electric power bus through an electronic converter
(rectifier).
 The bidirectional energy source is an electrochemical battery pack, connected to the bus by means of a power
electronics converter (DC/DC converter).
 The electric power bus is also connected to the controller of the electric traction motor.
 The traction motor can be controlled either as a motor or a generator, or in forward or reverse motion.
 This drive train may need a battery charger to charge the batteries by a wall plug-in from the power network.

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.

2. Parallel hybrid Electric drive train


 A parallel hybrid drive train is a drive train in which the engine supplies its power mechanically to the wheels
like in a conventional ICE-powered vehicle.
 It is assisted by an electric motor that is mechanically coupled to the transmission.
 The powers of the engine and electric motor are coupled together by mechanical coupling, as shown in
Figure.

29 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


Construction
 The ICE converts the combustion of fuel in engine into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is
transferred into the wheels through mechanical coupling, mechanical transmission, final drive and
differential.
 It is a bidirectional energy source. The battery is connected to the electric motor through motor controller.
 The electric motor is connected to the final drive and differential through mechanical coupling and
transmission.

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

3. Series-parallel hybrid Electric drive train


 The series parallel system incorporates the features of both the series and parallel HEV. It is having an
additional mechanical link compared with series hybrid and additional generator compared to the parallel
hybrid vehicle.
 The power delivery or the power distribution helps the vehicle achieve maximum efficiency in terms of power
output or fuel-efficiency.
 The block diagram and configuration diagram of the series - parallel hybrid electric drive train is shown in
figure.

30 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


Construction
 It uses a planetary gear unit to connect the engine, motor and transmission unit.
 The planetary gear unit is a speed summing unit that adds the speed produced by the IC.

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.

4. Complex hybrid Electric Drive System


 we will discuss the most versatile motorization typology on the market: the mixed or complex hybrid. It is
so called because it can be neither considered as a series nor a parallel architecture.

31 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


 The main feature of a complex hybrid is its composition: one heat engine and more than two electric
motors/generators.

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.

2.1.8 Electric Propulsion Systems


 Vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric
vehicles (HEVS). They consist of
Electric propulsion systems are at the
heart of electric motors, power
converters, and electronic
controllers.
 The electric motor converts the
electric energy into mechanical
energy to propel the vehicle, or, vice
versa, to enable regenerative braking
and/or to generate electricity for the
purpose of charging the on-board
energy storage.
 The power converter is used to
supply the electric motor with proper
voltage and current.
 The controller commands the power
converter by providing control signals to it, and then controls the operation of the electric motor to produce
proper torque and speed, according to the command from the drive.
 The electronic controller can be further divided into three functional units sensor, interface circuitry, and
processor. The sensor is used to translate measurable quantities such as current, voltage, temperature.

32 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


2.1.9 TYPES OF EV MOTORS

 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.

2.1.10 DC MOTOR DRIVES


DC motor drives are widely used in various applications where it is requires as below,
1. Adjustable speed
2. Good speed regulation
3. Frequent starting
4. Frequent braking
5. Frequent reversing, etc.,
It is widely used in electric traction applications

Construction and Working Principle of DC Motors


 A DC motor is an electromechanical energy conversion device,
which converts electrical energy input into the mechanical
energy output.
 The operation of the DC motor is based on the principle that
when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic
field, a mechanical force acts on the conductor.
 The magnitude of the force is given by, F=BIlNewtons
The direction of this is given by the Fleming’s left hand rule.

33 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


Working of DC Motor
 Consider a two pole DC motor as shown in the figure. When the DC motor is
connected to an external source of DC supply, the field coils are excited
developing alternate N and S poles and a current flows through the armature
windings.
 All the armature conductors under N pole carry current in one direction
(say into the plane of the paper), whereas all the conductors under S pole
carry current in the opposite direction (say out of the plane of the paper).
 As each conductor carrying a current and is placed in a magnetic field, hence
a mechanical force acts on it.

DC Motor Drives with Thyristor


 For motors up to a few kilowatts the armature converter draws power from either a single-phase or 3-phase
utility supply. For larger motors 3-phase is preferred because the waveforms are much smoother, although
traction uses single-phase with a series inductor to smooth the current.
 A separate thyristor or diode rectifier is used to supply the field of the motor: the power is much lower than
the armature power, the inductance is much higher, and so the supply is often single-phase.
 The arrangement shown in Figure is typical of most D.C. drives and provides for closed-loop speed control.

 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.

Merits of DC motor Drive


 Simple installation and easy maintenance.
 More efficient
 Better use of input energy
 High startup power
 High starting torque.
 Available in several standard voltages.
 Wide range of speed control, above and below the rated speed.

Demerits of DC motor drive


 High initial cost
 Due to the presence of commutator and brush gear,
 operation cost and maintenance cost is very high.
 Risk in commutation failure because due to the sparking occurs at brush so it cannot be operated in
explosive and hazard conditions.

34 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


 Poor speed control and regulation
 Always need a load before running.

2.1.11 Permanent Magnetic Brush Less DC Motor Drives (BLDC) – Oct23

an south pole
 The permanent rotor with north and south poles align with stator poles a using motor to rotate.
 The motor produces torque because of the development of attraction forces and repulsion forces.
 The motor continuous rotation depends on the switching around the coils.

Advantages:
 High efficiency

2.1.12 Hub Motor Drive System


 This is the most common type of motor. It is placed in electric-bikes.
 This motor is integrated into the front or rear wheel of the vehicle. Normally, the hub motor drive directly
applies torque to the wheel, operating independently of bike gears.
 There are two types of hub motors. They are geared hub motors and the gearless hub motors.
 The geared hub motors have internal planetary gears, which can be used to reduce the speed of higher rpm
motor.
 Similarly the gearless hub motors have no gears directly connects the lower rpm motor stators able to the
bike.
 It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It produces a rotating magnetic field by using an electric
coil act on the rotor squirrel cage type closed aluminum frame to form a magneto electric rotating torque.
 Most electric powered vehicles, use on board batteries, and a single ordinary electric motor to power either
two or four wheels.
 Hub motors are typically brushless motor. It replaces the commutator and brushes with half a dozen or more
separate coils and an electric circuit.
 In a normal motor, the inner coil is rotating and the outer magnet to stay static. But in this motor, the inner
part with the coils is static and the magnet spins around it.
 The electrical circuit sends power to the round copper coils, making the outer spins around the copper coils.
 The outer case is a magnet, split into the number of sections, bent round into a circle.

UNIT – III ENERGY STORAGES, CHARGING AND EFFECTS AND IMPACTS
Course Objective
To acquire knowledge about Energy Storages, Charging System, Effects and Impacts

3.1 Energy Storages


Energy storages are defined as the devices that 1. Store energy 2. Deliver Energy outside (Discharge) and 3. Accept
energy from outside (charge).
(The various types of energy storages are (for EV & EHV)
1. Chemical Batteries.
2. Ultra capacitors (or) Supercapacitors.

The various factors influencing the energy storage are:


 Specific Energy.
 Specific Power.
 Efficiency.
 Maintenance requirement.
 Management.
 Cost.
 Environmental Adaptation.
 Friendliness.
 Safety, etc.,

3.1.1 Electrochemical Batteries


 Electrochemical batteries (Referred as 'Batteries') are electrochemical devices that convert electrical energy
into potential chemical energy during charging and convert chemical energy into electric energy during
discharging.
 A battery is composed of several cells stacked together.
 A cell is an independent and complete unit that possesses all the electrochemical properties.
 Basically, a battery cell consists of three primary elements: two electrodes (positive and negative) immersed
into an electrolyte as shown in Figure.
 Battery manufacturers usually specify the battery with coulometric capacity (amp-hours), which is defined
as the number of amp-hours gained when discharging the battery from a fully charged state until the terminal
voltage drops to its cut-off voltage, as shown in Figure.
 It should be noted that the same battery usually has a different number of amp-hours at different discharging
current rates. Generally, the capacity will become smaller with a large discharge current rate, as shown in
Figure.
 Battery manufacturers usually specify a battery with a number of amp -hours along with a current rate. The
important parameter of a battery is the state-of-charge (SOC).
 SOC is defined as the ratio of the remaining capacity to the fully charged capacity.

3.1.2.1 LEAD ACID CELL/BATTERY


 The various parts of the lead acid battery are shown below. The container and the plates are the main
part of the lead acid battery. The container stores chemical energy which is converted into electrical
energy by the help of the plates.

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.

41 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


2. Sponge lead – Its form the negative active material. It is grey in colour.
3. Dilute Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) – It is used as an electrolyte. It contains 31% of sulfuric acid.

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.

5. Cell connectors-
 Cell connectors are used to connect the individual cells in series to achieve the desired voltage.

Chemical Action during Discharge


 When a lead-acid battery is discharged, the electrolyte divides into H2 and SO4 combine with some
of the oxygen that is formed on the positive plate to produce water (H2O), and thereby reduces the
amount of acid in the electrolyte.
 The sulphate (SO4) combines with the lead (Pb) of both plates, forming lead sulphate (PbSO4), as
shown in Equation.

Chemical Action during Charging


 As a lead-acid battery is charged in the reverse direction, the action described in the discharge is
reversed. The lead sulphate (PbSO4) is driven out and back into the electrolyte (H2SO4).
 The return of acid to the electrolyte will reduce the sulphate in the plates and increase the specific
gravity.
 This will continue to happen until all of the acid is driven from the plates and back into the
electrolyte, as shown in below Equation.

42 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


Physical Reaction during discharging
 Both the plates are transformed into lead sulphate (PbSO4).
 Sulphuric acid is consumed and water is formed which reduces the specific gravity of electrolyte from
1.28 to 1.18.
 The terminal voltage of each battery cell falls to 1.8V.
 Chemical energy is converted into electrical energy which is delivered to load.
 Applications of Lead Acid Battery

Physical Reaction during charging


 The anode is transformed into lead peroxide (PbO2) and cathode into the spongy lead (Pb).
 Water is consumed and sulphuric acid is formed which increases the specific gravity of electrolyte

Cell series and parallel connection to develop battery pack


 Batteries achieve the desired operating voltage by connecting several cells in series. Each cell adds its voltage
potential to derive at the total terminal voltage.
 Parallel connection attains higher capacity by adding up the total ampere - hour (Ah). The description of
various connections is given below.

(A) Series connection


 Connecting the batteries in series is to increase the overall voltage of the battery system.
 This connection does not increase the capacity.

 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.

49 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


 For example, if we connect three 6V, 100 Ah batteries, we got the total capacity of the battery as 18V,
100Ah. The amount of voltage is only increased, but the total capacity of the battery is not varied.
 The negative terminal of the first battery and the positive terminal of the last battery acts as the lead
terminals of the battery pack.

(B) Parallel Connection


 Connecting the batteries in parallel is to connect two or more batteries together to increase the amp -
hour capacity in this connection the amp - hour capacity is only increased however the battery voltage
will remain same.
 When connecting batteries in parallel, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the positive
terminals of all batteries, and the negative terminal of first battery is also connected to the negative
terminals of all batteries.

 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.

(C) Series Parallel Connection


 The series parallel connection increases both the voltage and amp hour capacity of battery system. In this
connection we have to connect 4 or more batteries in both series and parallel for increasing the system
capacity and voltage.

 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.

3.4 Battery Charging techniques – Oct23


 A battery charger is a device used to put energy into a cell or (rechargeable) battery by forcing an electric
current through it.
 A charger connected to AC supply should convert the AC to DC using rectifier circuit and use the DC for
charging the batteries.
 The different methods used for charging the battery are,

50 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


1. Constant current method
2. Constant voltage method
3. Trickle charging method

1. Constant Current Method


 For constant current method of charging the batteries to be charged are connected in series as shown in
fig.
 The charging current is maintained constant throughout the charging process by adjusting the series
rheostat.
 The specified value of current is maintained constant till the cells are gassing. Normally the cells starts
gassing the charging current is reduced.

2. Constant voltage Method


 In this method of charging, the batteries to be charged are connected in parallel across the supply as
shown in fig.
 The charging voltage is maintained constant throughout the charging process. The charging current is
high in the beginning and it is gradually reduced as the battery picks up charge resulting in increased
back e.m.f.
 Since the batteries are charged quickly, this method is mostly used in battery charging shops. Due to
high initial charging current the life of the battery is reduced.

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.

swapping the discharged batteries with fully charged batteries.
 The discharged batteries will either be charged at the service station or centrally collected charged at the
swapping station.
 Simply, swapping refers to exchange of two or more things.
 The various types of battery swapping techniques are given below.

(a) Sideways swapping

convenient.

(b) Rear swapping


 This technique is utilized for vehicles in which the battery is placed in backwards.

(e) Bottom swapping

 The swapping station is built in the manner such that the vehicle is placed on an elevated platform
and the batteries are swapped from the bottom using a robotic arm.

(d) Top swapping


 This is most commonly used for the electric buses wherein the batteries are placed at the top.

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.

 It has two main components namely charging pad and receiver.
 The charging pad is fixed in the ground above where the car is parked.
 The receiver is fixed in the chassis.
 It transfers energy through inductive coupling.
 First, ac passes through an induction coil in the charging station or pad.
 The moving electric charge creates a magnetic field, which fluctuates in strength, because the electric
current's amplitude is fluctuating.
 This changing magnetic field creates an alternating electric current in the portable device's induction coil,
which in turn passes through a rectifier to convert it to direct current.
 Finally, the dc charges a battery or provides operating power.

3.7 Maintenance of battery packs


1. Maintenance of battery in a correct manner is just as essential for extending the life span of our battery
and protecting our vehicles.
2. Do not allow battery to drop below 20 % power before charging.
3. Allow battery to charge full power uninterrupted. A battery's lifespan is often proportional to the number
of charges.
4. Deliver equalizer charge when necessary. During the process of equalizer charge, the batteries will charge
for a long period of time. This may lead to overheating, so the batteries should be monitored during this
process.
5. After fully charging, the battery must cool before being placed back into service or it may overheat,
potentially damaging both the battery and the electrical circuits.
6. Clean battery with a neutralizing detergent solution on a regular basis.
7. Avoid using fast charging During the fast charging so much current into the battery in a short period, which
strains the battery and wanes them faster.
8. The batteries may be degraded when EVS are parked with an empty or full battery.
9. Use partial discharge cycles Using only 20% or 30 % of battery capacity before recharging will extend life
considerably.

53 | P a g e PMCTECH POLYTECHNIC- HOSUR


10. Avoid charging to 100 % capacity 10. Select correct charge termination method Selecting a charger that
uses minimum charge current termination can also extend battery life.
11. Limit the battery temperature Limiting battery temperature extremes extends battery life.
12. Avoid high charge and discharge currents High charge and discharge currents reduce life cycle. High
currents place excessive stress on the battery.
13. Avoid very deep discharges Very deep discharges will quickly, permanently damage a battery.
14. Charging the battery only to 80 % of its maximum charge level.
15. Avoid for parking the vehicle with battery for long period of time.
16. Avoid for exposing the battery to extreme heat or cold.
17. Braking to aggressively should be avoided.
18. Driving the vehicle over rough terrain should be avoided, which can cause vibrations that deactivate the
battery's electrical system.
19. Charging the battery in direct sunlight should be avoided, which can be heating the battery management
system
20. Do not consuming battery power with multiple in vehicle devices.
21. Avoid quick charging frequently, the quick charging can diminish battery life span.

 It is broadly grouped into three major categories
1. Impact on power grid
2. Impact on environment
3. Impact on economy

3.9.1.1 Impacts on Power Grid


 EVS are considered to be high power loads and they affect the power distribution system directly. Mostly
it affects the distribution transformers, cables and fuses.
 The power grid is a network for delivering electricity to customers. The power grid includes generating
stations, transmission lines, and distribution lines.
 The detrimental impact of EV (Negative Impact) charging station loads on the electricity distribution
network cannot be neglected.
 The high charging loads of the fast-charging stations results in
1 Increased peak load demand,
2. Reduced reserve margins
3. Voltage instability and
4. Reliability problems.
 The penetration of EV on the Indian grid and its positive impact can be seen if the EV's are co-ordinated.
 The co-ordinate charging and discharging of EV's can improve the voltage profile and the power
transmission loss.

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.
