Summary:

Introduction: The advent of electric mobility is changing theconventional mobility techniques and their application inautomobiles across all segments. This development comes withchallenges ranging across varied sub -systems in a vehicleincluding Power Train, HVAC, Accessories, et cetera Objective: Thispaper would concentrate on the Power train related sub systems& improvement of the same both in terms of Efficiency andPerformance. Methodology: The electric power train consists ofthree major sub parts: 1. Motor Unit 2. Controller with Powerelectronics 3. Battery Pack with BMS We would concentrate onimproving the overall efficiency and performance of all thesesubsystems while they perform in vehicle environment and work intandem by deploying following techniques: a. Improved RegenerativeBraking for converting vehicles Kinetic energy into electricalenergy using specific algorithms and control techniques bornOptimization of Design Specs and duty cycle based on real worlddriving cycles. c. Innovative Heat dissipation techniques tominimize energy loss to heat. d. Efficient Electrical to ChemicalEnergy conversion and vice versa through use of optimizationtechniques based on battery characterization Data. Results: Basedon our Initial Proof of concept level experimentation we expect aimprovement in efficiency of the tune 15-20 % through theseoptimization techniques. Innovation/New Idea: These techniques havenot been adopted using a system level approach as per ourknowledge. The innovation is in the integration of varioustechniques to create a better Power Train as a whole. Conclusion:These techniques when optimized and applied together cansignificantly improve the efficiency of electric vehicles and makethem a more viable option
