Experimental Investigation of Electric Vehicle Performance and Energy Consumption on Chassis Dynamometer Using Drive Cycle Analysis

Feasibility analysis of the conversion of brushed to brushless direct current motor

“…Recent studies related to retrofitting systems having electrical machine components include transportation systems, industrial machinery, and power generation systems. Several studies regarding retrofitting of transportation systems and industrial machinery are: hybrid retrofits in the power coupling arrangement, namely between the internal combustion engine and in-wheel motors without mechanical equipment but directly done by the vehicle, compared to conventional parallel hybrid electric vehicle [9], converting the combustion engine vehicle into the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (EV) [10], upgrading gasoline cars to EV using the new powertrain [11], describing a method for transforming a vehicle's conventional drivetrain into an electrically based power unit [12], conducting a field experiment of an immobile retrofitted EV battery for grid balancing [13], suggesting to improve a shaft generator frequency converter to save fuel while operating a boat by connecting it to the primary switchboard [14], retrofitting the existing computer numerical control (CNC) machines to do modest manufacturing process by employing the Arduino platform [15], and improving the performance of a machine vision system of former tractors to make it possible to control tillage tools and enable real-time field operations [16].…”
