High Efficiency Electric Vehicle Powertrain

Description

“Range anxiety” continues to be a major hurdle to large scale adoption of electric vehicles, and this project attempts to address that with an unconventional powertrain architecture. In this project we propose an architecture inspired by Electronic Continuously Variable Transmissions (E-CVTs) used successfully in hybrid electric  vehicles. The E-CVTs employ Motor-Generator Units (MGUs) and Planetary Gear Trains (PGTs), and pose a controls and optimization problem to balance the ability to deliver the right speed ratio at maximum efficiency, and that is the focus of this project.
