Formula Hybrid Racing at Illinois Institute of Technology: Design to Implementation S. G. Wirasingha, J. Sibley, A. I. Antoniou, A. Castaneda, and A. Emadi Grainger Power Electronics and Motor Drives Laboratory Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, Illinois, USA http:// power.iit .ed u/ 1 Outline Introduction ACE Formula Racing Education Hybrid Design The Competition -Results - Technology Comparison RfltiReflections/S ummary Future/Recommendation Conclusions 2 Formula Hybrid Competition An en gineering challengeetoto designnandandbuild arace a race car that conforms to aaformulaformulawhich emphasizes hybrid drive train innovation and fuel efficiency in high-performance application. Extension of the Formula SAE Competition Organized by Dartmouth College, NH in conjunction with SAE and IEEE 3 ACE Formula Racing A team of over 50 students split into three team – Electrical Team – Mechanical Team – Static Team Obstacles – Start-up logistics – Funding Sponsors: – ACllfEiiArmour College of Engineering – ECE, MMAE and Communications Departments of IIT – Atul and Kalpana Thakkar 4 ACE Formula Racing: Objectives “The cost of parti ci pati ng i n th e F ormul a H yb rid C ompetiti on i s offset by the immense educational value to students.” Primary Objective: Education Secondary Objectives: - Vehicle design and dynamics - Project Management - Drive train Configuration - Multidisciplinary Teamwork - Electrical systems design - Awareness of Ethical Concerns - Mechanical system design - Communication 5 Education Theory on components, Implementation of behavior and simulation advanced systems Traditional Traditional Education Research Advanced Integrated Education and Research + Multidisciplinary Interactions, Teamwork, Problem-Solving, Open -Ended problems , Innovation, Management, and Leadership Formula Hybrid Project 6 Hybrid Design TfitihTwo configurations chosen ACE 1: Parallel Hybrid – More technical challenges – Lighter vehicle ACE 2: Series Hybrid – Easy to implement 7 ACE 1: Parallel Hybrid Primary Vehicle No Compromises Chassis designed from scratch – Chassis can accommodate the components – Components are lightweight and small Controller is digital and allows for complicated control strategies to be implemented 8 ACE 1: Parallel Hybrid Component Model Notes Engine Yamaha YZ250F 250cc four-stroke Azure Dynamics 300V, 40Hp @ Motor AC24 4,000 RPM Energy Storage Custom NiMH Torque Coupling Custom Free rotating Shaft Controller TI DSP 9 ACE 2: Series Hybrid Secondary Vehicle Chassis Purchased Main problem : Time & Resources Chassis was bought used – Affects : Packaging & Drivetrain All components except EM were used – Affects : Reliability Sheet Metal Body Work – Affects : Aerodynamics & Marketing 10 ACE 2: Series Hybrid Component Model Notes 250cc 4-stroke Engine Kawasaki Ninja Used Electric Machine AC-24 head belt driver Electric Generator 10 kW generator Honda Civic 144V 288V bus BiBatteries NiMH Used Controller Analog electronics 11 Competition Performance AThidAutocross: Third Car # University Slowest Fastest 18 Dartmouth 1 DNF N/A Acceleration: Third 19 Dartmouth FWD N/A N/A EdEndurance: ThidThird 11 Embry Riddle A.U 73.17 33.17 69 Florida Tech 30.99 29.37 Dynamic Acceleration: Fourth 12 IIT 67.15 32.24 16 MGillUiMcGill Universi ty 30. 99 27. 74 45 95 Yale University 37.40 34.48 45 Speed [ Spee 30 30 d m [mph] ph] 15 15 0 0 10 2030 40 12 3 6129 time (s) time (s) 2007 Formula Hybrid Score Sheet n s on on e oo ss Total Car # School Hybrid Design Electric Autocro resentati Enduranc Accelerati Accelerati PP Max Possible Score --> 200 100 75 75 150 400 1000 11 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical 180 89 48 21 123 230 692 University 12 Illinois Institute of 75 79 65 44 130 284* 677 Technology 13 Colorado State University 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 16 McGill University 166 100 70 52 150 400 939 18 Dartmouth College 200 98 0.0 0.0 0.0 108 407 19 Dartmouth College 0. 0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 69 Florida Institute of 138 52 0.00 75 145 400 811 Technology 76 Drexel University 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 95 Yale University 97 62 75 55 122 265 677 * Points did not count because of off the wall charging 13 Technology Comparison Florida Tech : Electric car – Simple – Low Cost –Low Voltage Bus McGill University : Series Hybrid –Simple – Low Vo lt age B us 14 Technology Comparison Yale University : Parallel –Simple – Dune Buggy Chassis Embry-Riddle Aer.
