5.B] With help a line diagram describe the working principle of Electric vehicle
Answer:
Electric vehicles: An electric vehicle, also called an electric drive vehicle, uses one or more electric motors or traction motors for propulsion. An electric vehicle may be powered through a collector system by electricity from off-vehicle sources, or may be self-contained with a battery, solar panels or a generator to convert fuel to electricity. In the 21st century, EVs saw a resurgence due to technological developments and an increased focus on renewable energy.
working principle of Electric vehicle:
The electric propulsion subsystem is comprised of a vehicle controller, power electronic converter, electric motor, mechanical transmission, and driving wheels. The energy source subsystem involves the energy source, the energy management unit, and the energy refuelling unit. The auxiliary subsystem consists of the power steering unit, the hotel climate control unit, and the auxiliary supply unit.
Based on the control inputs from the accelerator and brake pedals, the vehicle controller provides proper control signals to the electronic power converter, which functions to regulate the power flow between the electric motor and energy source. The backward power flow is due to the regenerative braking of the EV and this regenerated energy can be restored to the energy source, provided the energy source is receptive. The auxiliary power supply provides the necessary power at different voltage levels for all the EV auxiliaries, especially the hotel climate control and power steering units.
