A system model of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and internal combustion (IC) engine is developed. The main load on the system is shared by both the fuel cell and the IC engine. Exhausts from the fuel cell are fed into the IC Engine. The performance of the system is studied at various load conditions depending on the amount of hydrogen injected into the IC engine. The optimum range for operation of the fuel cell and IC engine is studied. Results indicate an improvement in efficiency as compared to a conventional diesel engine of similar configuration. The model gives an indication of amount of dilution required in order to prevent NOx formation and engine knocking.

A model for simulating the flow field of a PEM fuel cell is presented. The effects of not only reaction and two-phase flow but also that of stoichiometric ratio on the flow-field of a fuel cell stack was studied. The aim is to highlight the importance of considering the above effects while doing a fuel cell system-level-analysis and design. These results help in better selection of the geometry to achieve uniform flow field and better evaluation of the pressure required to get the flow.

The ever increasing prices of petroleum products and serious environmental pollution problems have accelerated the development of non-polluting electric and hybrid vehicles during last few decades. The new technology of battery operated electric vehicles is likely to replace conventional IC engine automobile technology soon. Pune is a major automobile hub of India. Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, Kinetic engineering etc. have their automobile manufacturing units at Pune. Many automobile manufacturing units are situated at Nashik and Mumbai. Apart from these units, some small and medium size industrial units such as Gulane Engineering, Martin Frank (Motion Control) Pvt. Limited and Technovision have already started development of various components for battery operated electric vehicles. However there are some common issues related to electric vehicle technology. These include selection of batteries, selection of electric motors for specific capacity vehicles, design of controllers, design of battery chargers with specific applications to electric vehicles, development of testing facility for testing of electric motors, controllers and battery chargers. In this situation the industry-institute interaction will play a key role and part of R&D and testing activities can get diverted to educational institution with adequate infrastructure. This paper emphasizes basic details regarding characteristics of various motors and controllers used for battery operated electric vehicles. Comparative study of various motors used for electric vehicle applications is presented. The role of local transport authorities in promoting electric vehicles for cities like Pune is also presented.
近几十年来,不断上涨的石油产品价格和严重的环境污染问题加速了无污染电动汽车和混合动力汽车的发展。电池驱动的电动汽车的新技术可能很快取代传统的集成电路发动机汽车技术。浦那是印度主要的汽车中心。塔塔汽车、巴贾杰汽车、动能工程等公司在浦那都有汽车制造部门。许多汽车制造单位位于纳西克和孟买。除了这些单位外,一些中小型工业单位,如Gulane Engineering, Martin Frank(运动控制)Pvt. Limited和Technovision已经开始开发各种电池驱动的电动汽车组件。然而,与电动汽车技术相关的一些常见问题。其中包括电池的选择,特定容量车辆的电动机的选择,控制器的设计,特定应用于电动汽车的电池充电器的设计,用于测试电动机,控制器和电池充电器的测试设备的开发。在这种情况下,产学互动将发挥关键作用,部分研发和测试活动可以转移到拥有足够基础设施的教育机构。本文着重介绍了用于电池驱动的电动汽车的各种电动机和控制器的特性的基本细节。对各种电动汽车用电机进行了比较研究。报告还介绍了当地交通部门在浦那等城市推广电动汽车方面的作用。

A simple dynamic model is needed to study the dynamic behavior of IC engine driven permanent magnet generator, which is used in hybrid tracked vehicle. The simple mathematical model for the typical engine is developed using look-up table obtained from actual test bed results and physical equations. Permanent magnet generator model is developed by dq equivalent circuit model approach for the typical generator design parameters. The individual Simulink blocks for engine and generator are developed and analyzed. The blocks are interconnected and the system dynamic response due to induced disturbances is analyzed. The response time of the system to overcome the disturbance is calculated and it is within the accepted level.
