Abstract:
In today’s world, traditional auto-rickshaws are one of the most commonly used mode so public transportation, and
they also contribute significantly to air pollution.The fact that
they use an internal combustion (i/c) engine is one of the key
reasons for this.For generating power to run the vehicle, all
internal combustion engines use petrol / diesel fuel.Fuel efficiency
can been hanced via engine right-sizing,load leveling, and
regenerative braking if conventional vehicles are convert ed to
hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) by adding an electric powert rain
to the conventional power train.This study aims is to design a
cost-effective electric regenerative hybrid system for traditional
auto rickshaw that does not require major structural changes.
The electric regenerative hybrid system would be capable of
operating the auto rickshaw in two modes: electric mode and
i/c engine mode.The brushless DC electric motor (BLDCmotor)
in the auto rickshaw will be powered by a Lithium -ion battery
in electric mode. In engine mode, the Auto Rickshaw will
operate on an internal combustion engine while also generating
electricity to charge the battery. The simulation was run on the
Matlab/Simulink platform to look at battery and vehicle out put
while using a battery pack.
