Snapshot Presentation for: HYROLLERSHYBRID FSAE DRIVETRAIN
Why H-FSAE? • NIATT seeks to be a leader in “Green Vehicle” technologies • Hybrid Technologies can improve performance as well as efficiency • The Hybrid FSAE competition will provide experience to young engineers in this emerging field • The Hybrid FSAE competition provides an engaging project for students to participate in
Hybrid System Configurations • How Hybrids work • Series Hybrid • Parallel Hybrid • Complex Hybrid http://www.hybridcenter.org/hybrid-center-how-hybrid-cars-work-under-the-hood-2.html
Conclusion of how to design a Hybrid FSAE car: Development of electronic power-management system Including component selection Evaluation and selection of hybrid solution to implement Single motor evaluation Behavior of dual input to power differential Frame development and packaging team that accommodates new components Previous U of I FSAE competition knowledge Evaluation of actual engine to be used Suspension / Brakes / Final design COMPETITION
Phase 1 : Completion of the Dynamometer • The Water-brake dyno was reverse engineered by last years ME 301 class (of which three of our team members were in) • It was built in our machine shop by students under the direction (and with substantial personal investment) of Russ Porter • Our team had to install seals, check bearing speeds, specify a force transducer, determine how to monitor RPM, and develop the data acquisition strategy
Phase 3: Single Motor Testing • Evaluate the motor characteristics to determine if selected brushless DC motor is right for competition. • Provide an intermediary step to completion: • 1. Allows parallel paths for data aquisition and full build • 2. Tests most major components so that problems can be identified early-on. Solid Model of Single Motor Test Setup Load Cell Calibration Complete Single Motor Test Setup
RIP These motor controllers gave their life so that the H-FSAE team could know more. May they rest in peace.
Phase 4: Dual Input Prep • Allows future teams to develop a comprehensive control strategy for the racecar on a smaller model (less expensive mistakes) • Demonstrates the interaction of two-power sources to the planetary drive. • Will serve as a learning platform for future teams to get up to speed on the advantages of the planetary drive. • Is a great demonstration piece for the U of I
Future Work • Completion of the test platform so that more reliable data can be collected. This includes: • Using faster data processing to be able to measure high motor speeds. • Finalizing Data Acquisition and making the test stand more user-friendly. • Development of a control system and simulation of road loading • Engine characteristics of the YZ 250F • PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER for competition!!!
