WHAT WE HAVE DONE BASICALLY

Based on hybrid car theory we have done
switching of power between two sources
This switching is controlled by LABVIEW(VIRTUAL
INTRUMENTATION)
We are getting different speed from the speed
sensor mounted on motor
This speed in inputed in labview via DAQ cards
In labview using acceleration(here 1.2m/s2) logic
level we have operated two relays

 When a<=1.2 then dc source is being used

when a>1.2 then ultracapacitor source is used
Ultracapacitor can source high current required
when high acceleration is needed
Dc source is used when less current, less
acceleration is required

 The purpose of this device is to allow higher accelerations

and decelerations of the vehicle with minimal loss of energy
and minimal degradation of the main battery pack.
The control of the system measures the battery voltage, the
battery state-of-charge, the car speed the instantaneous
currents in both the terminals (load and ultracapacitor), and
the actual voltage of the ultracapacitor. This last indication
allows to know the amount of energy stored in the
ultracapacitor.
When the car runs at high speeds, the control keeps the
capacitor discharged. If the car is not running, the capacitor
bank remains charged at full voltage. Medium speeds keep
the ultracapacitors at medium voltages, to allow future
accelerations or decelerations.

 NI LabVIEW is a graphical programming language designed for

engineers and scientists to develop test, control, and
measurement applications. The intuitive nature of LabVIEW
graphical programming makes it easy for educators and
researchers to incorporate the software in a range of courses
and applications. With LabVIEW, educators and researchers can
use a graphical system design approach to design, prototype,
and deploy embedded systems. It combines the power of
graphical programming with hardware to dramatically simplify
and accelerate the development of designs.
LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument
control, and industrial automation on a variety of platforms
including Microsoft Windows, various versions of UNIX, Linux,
and Mac OS X

 Data acquisition is the process of sampling signals that

measure real world physical conditions and converting the
resulting samples into digital numeric values that can be
manipulated by a computer. Data acquisition systems
(abbreviated with the acronym DAS or DAQ) typically convert
analog waveforms into digital values for processing. The
components of data acquisition systems include:
Sensors that convert physical parameters to electrical signals.
Signal conditioning circuitry to convert sensor signals into a
form that can be converted to digital values.
Analog-to-digital converters, which convert conditioned
sensor signals to digital values.
