Description
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more reliable than fuel-based vehicles. For example, if the air conditioning fan or the lights are left on in a fuel-based vehicle while the car is not moving, most probably the car’s small battery will be dead and the car won’t start. Contrarily to fuel-based vehicles, EVs rely on one large battery that powers the vehicle’s rotating motor, and one or two smaller batteries that supply energy to components such as air conditioning fan and lights. Researchers are working on a new power supply system, dubbed the "auxiliaries power supply," that charges the smaller batteries in an EV from the main battery. This system is designed to exceed current industry standards in power rating and efficiency. Furthermore, If the main battery fails or runs out of charge, the power supply system will supply power to the car motor from the small battery until the car reaches the nearest charging station or workshop. The research project includes defining the system requirements based on industrial market research, designing and simulating the system using computer software, and building and testing it in the laboratory. With continued research, EVs are expected to become even more dependable than fuel-based vehicles.Periode | 29 mrt 2023 |
