ADVANCED ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM

OBJECTIVES:
• To improve the efficiency.
• To minimize the environmental effects.
• To minimize energy cost/waste without affecting production and quality.
 What is energy conversion?
Energy conversion is the process of changing energy from one form to
another form.
Chemical to mechanical energy conversion:
Chemical energy

Thermal energy

Mechanical
energy
Example:IC engine car
Drawbacks of IC engine car:
●The main drawback of the IC engine is pollution:CO2,CO,SO2,etc….

●Minimum efficiency.The maximun efficiency of the IC engine is only

40%.

●Availability of fuel is minimum.

●High maintenance requirements.

 How to rectify this problem?

• To reduce the usage of IC engines.

• Move on to IC engine vehicles to electrical vehicles.In electric
vehicles,energy conversion is simple compared to IC engine vehicles.So,
efficiency of the electrical vehicle is very high compared to IC engines.
Electric vehicle energy conversion system:
In a electric vehicle , the electrical energy is directly converted into
mechanical energy.
Construction of Electric car:
ElECTRIC CAR CONSIST OF:
1.Battery;
2.Charge port;
3.DC/DC Convertor;
4.Electric traction motor;
5.Onboard charger;
6.Power electronics controller;
7.Thermal system;
8.Traction battery pack;
9.Transmission.
Construction of Electric vehicle:
Electric vehicle have an electric motor instead of an internal
combustion engine. The electric vehicle uses a large battery pack to
power the electric motor.
Every electric car has got own Charge Port, that allows the vehicle to
connect to an external power supply in order to charge the traction
battery pack. You can see the Charge Port shown at the picture too.

Vehicle accessories work need a low-voltage DC power, so electric car has

mounted DC/DC converter. It`s nessasary Because device provides normal
vehicle accessories work and recharge the auxiliary battery.
Electric traction motor drives the electric vehicle’s wheels with using power
from the traction battery pack.
Charging:
Onboard charger converts AC electricity to DC power for the traction battery
charging. Also It has control function of main battery characteristics such as
voltage, temperature, current, and state of charge while charging the pack.
Power electronics controller manages the flow of electrical energy
delivered by the traction battery. Also it controlling the speed of the electric
traction motor and the torque it produces.
Cooling system (thermal system) maintains a proper operating
temperature range of the electric motor, power electronics, and other
components.

Traction battery pack provides stores electricity for use by the

electric traction motor.

.
Electric transmission transfers mechanical power from the electric traction
motor to the drive wheels
