Design and Implementation of a Belted Alternator Starter System for the OSU Ecocar 3 Vehicle THESIS Design and Implementation of a Belted Alternator Starter System for the OSU EcoCAR 3 Vehicle THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dennis Ssebina Kibalama Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Science The Ohio State University 2017 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Giorgio Rizzoni, Advisor Dr. Levent Guvenc Dr. Shawn Midlam-Mohler Copyrighted by Dennis Ssebina Kibalama 2017 Abstract The transportation sector is a great contributor to overall energy consumption and emissions. Stringent regulations have been put in place to curb the emissions and regulate fuel consumption due to dependency on a finite resource, fossil fuels. This has driven OEMs to re-engineer the automotive powertrain which has led to a burst in production of PHEVs, HEVs and EVs. The U.S. D.O.E, General Motors, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and other industry sponsors have spearheaded (Advanced Vehicle Technology Competitions) AVTCs with a goal of training the next generation of automotive engineers by challenging collegiate teams to re-engineer stock vehicles to improve fuel consumption, reduce emissions while maintaining consumer acceptability. The latest in this AVTC series is the EcoCAR 3, a 4-year competition which challenges 16 North American university teams to re-engineer a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro into a HEV while maintaining the performance aspects of the iconic American car. The OSU EcoCAR 3 vehicle boasts a Parallel-series post transmission PHEV architecture designed by the team in Year 1 of the competition. To meet the team designed (Vehicle Technical Specification) VTS targets, the architecture includes a motor coupled to the engine, a Belted Alternator Starter (BAS) which performs engine start/stop, series operation, speed matching and torque assist. Due to the versatility of the component in ii realizing the VTS targets, this thesis sets to outline the design and validation work done with regards to the BAS system. The BAS system consists of the electric machine, the engine, belt transmission, inverter and battery pack. The thesis outlines the design metrics considered in the design of the BAS system ranging from electrical, performance, mechanical and thermal considerations. The BAS chosen is a sponsor donated component that wasn't supplied with an inverter solution. This thesis details the two inverter choices adopted over Years 2 – 3 of the competition and the control, calibration, validation, performance and packaging carried out to realize functionality of the BAS. To accurately model the dynamics of the BAS system during engine startup, a dynamic engine model is developed to model engine, BAS and belt transmission dynamics. The underlying assumptions made to develop an accurate representation of the dynamics while minimizing calibration efforts are also outlined. This model will be used in Year 4 for development and optimization of an engine start/stop controller. The thesis also analyses the two control methods adopted for engine start; an open loop controller and a closed loop controller and evaluates the performance of the controllers in terms of rise time, engine speed overshoot, maximum jerk and root mean square acceleration. This thesis encompasses the design and validation work done to move the BAS system development work from a component/subsystem level to vehicle/system level. This sets the team in a good position heading into Year 4 of the competition to implement engine start/stop functionality in the vehicle, optimize torque assist functionality and use the BAS for speed matching for faster shift times. iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to the entire support of the people at the OSU Center for Automotive Research.

  • Timing Belt Interference Caution Note: Camshaft
    Carmax 6067 170 Turnpike Rd Westborough, MA 01581 YMMS: 1991 Chevrolet Lumina Z34 Sep 3, 2020 Engine: 3.4L Eng License: VIN: Odometer: TIMING BELT INTERFERENCE CAUTION NOTE: CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELTS OR TIMING BELTS - The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be checked on vehicles which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some manufacturers do not recommend replacement at a specified mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine components on most engines, although some designs do not allow piston-to-valve contact. These designs are often called "Free Wheeling". Many manufacturers changed their maintenance and warranty schedules in the mid-1980's to reflect timing belt inspection and/or replacement at 50,000- 60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules shown in this section reflect these changes. Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any of the following conditions exist: Crack Or Tears In Belt Surface Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth Oil Contamination Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners Incorrect Tension Adjustment REMOVAL & INSTALLATION Tip: Timing belt CAUTION: For 1996-97 models, this application is an interference engine. Do not rotate camshaft or crankshaft when timing belt is removed, or engine damage may occur. NOTE: The camshaft timing procedure has been updated by TSB bulletin No. 47-61-34, dated December, 1994. REMOVAL Tip: timing 3.4 x motor 1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove air cleaner and duct assembly. Drain engine coolant. 2. Remove accelerator and cruise control cables from throttle body.

  • The Starting System Includes the Battery, Starter Motor, Solenoid, Ignition Switch and in Some Cases, a Starter Relay
    UNIT II STARTING SYSTEM &CHARGING SYSTEM The starting system: The starting system includes the battery, starter motor, solenoid, ignition switch and in some cases, a starter relay. An inhibitor or a neutral safety switch is included in the starting system circuit to prevent the vehicle from being started while in gear. When the ignition key is turned to the start position, current flows and energizes the starter's solenoid coil. The energized coil becomes an electromagnet which pulls the plunger into the coil. The plunger closes a set of contacts which allow high current to reach the starter motor. The charging system: The charging system consists of an alternator (generator), drive belt, battery, voltage regulator and the associated wiring. The charging system, like the starting system is a series circuit with the battery wired in parallel. After the engine is started and running, the alternator takes over as the source of power and the battery then becomes part of the load on the charging system. The alternator, which is driven by the belt, consists of a rotating coil of laminated wire called the rotor. Surrounding the rotor are more coils of laminated wire that remain stationary (called stator) just inside the alternator case. When current is passed through the rotor via the slip rings and brushes, the rotor becomes a rotating magnet having a magnetic field. When a magnetic field passes through a conductor (the stator), alternating current (A/C) is generated. This A/C current is rectified, turned into direct current (D/C), by the diodes located within the alternator.

  • Lyall Cooper Dr. Dann ASR – D Block 10 May 2012 the Mighty Railgun I. Abstract the Idea of This Project Is to Build a Railgun
    Lyall Cooper Dr. Dann ASR – D Block 10 May 2012 The Mighty Railgun (All Bark no Bite) I. Abstract The idea of this project is to build a railgun capable of firing a small metal projectile at substantial velocity. The original plan was to build iterative prototypes capable of firing small projectiles, and using them to figure out the ideal design for the final version, but the smaller versions were not very successful due to their relative lack of power, so it was difficult to use them to learn what to do. The final, largest scale railgun is powered by a bank of capacitors with an equivalent capacitance of 24.6mF charged to around 350V. This produces 3013.5J of energy discharged over approximately 58.75 µs (it varies for each firing), drawing a peak of about 1425A when firing a projectile (it once again varies) and about 1600A when not firing a projectile (short circuiting the rails). The railgun is capable of consistently firing a small piece of metal (usually aluminum or copper); however the projectile does not usually travel very far, although this is hard to measure due to the nature of the gun and the speed at which the firing takes place. II. Introduction Electricity is often seemingly mysterious, but we have come to accept and understand how through the interaction of electric and magnetic fields we can create a simple motor, as we did in the first semester. A railgun is just a linear electric motor, at very high speeds. What makes it different, however, is that it uses neither magnets nor coils of wire, and relies entirely on the induced magnetic field in the rails due to the extremely large current to produce a Lorentz Force to propel the projectile (which will be discussed in greater depth in the theory section).

Read This First By virtue of the techniques, design, components used and the care taken in building and testing, each ignition controller is believed to be highly reliable. The risk of failure is thus low, but it is finite. Therefore, this system is only made available on the basis that the user agrees to implement a Dual Ignition System. The Leburg system is the dual system, with the power supply system described in this manual. If any change from this is intended, you will need to check with the LAA that they will accept it. If a different alternator or power system is used, again, you will need to check with the LAA that they will accept it. The benefits of smooth running and getting the maximum power are obtained when the system is installed as described in this manual, with dual controllers, dual ignition spark plugs, both firing at the same time at the optimum advance angle.
