STUDY ON DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE SERIAL HYBRID VEHICLE

Abstract

This paper presents the study results on design and manufacture serial hybrid vehicle. The system includes a 950W generator, 650W 3-phase brushless motor built-in wheel, throttle and electronic speed control. In working process, electric motor spins the wheel to make moving of the vehicle. The internal combustion engine is responsible for pulling the generator to recharging the battery whenever the remaining voltage in the battery is less than a certain value. When the battery voltage is less than the allowable minimum value, the automatically recharging system starts the internal combustion engine to pull the generator for recharging the battery. When the battery is full charged, the system automatically turns off the engine. The automatic recharging system is designed including an electronic control unit with a ATmega 328 microcontroller and ADC converters. The automatic recharging system was successfully manufactured based on references from other previous studies. In order to take a step into hybrid technology in Vietnam, this study is helpful in development research in automotive technology. In addition, this study provides helpful document and equipment for improving education quality in automotive, mechatronics majors.
