Conversion of Diesel Vehicles to Electric Vehicles and Controlled by PID Controller

Abstract

Internal combustion engine vehicles are the most produced and sold vehicles on the market. In recent years, interest in electric vehicles has begun to increase, especially due to the environmental problems. In the near future, it is estimated that gasoline and diesel vehicles will be completely electric vehicles. For this reason, many studies have been conducted on electric vehicles. Particularly the change of the engine parts, the turning of the internal combustion part to the electric motor, and the design of these motors has become an important parameter. In order to improve the performances of electric vehicles, the batteries of electric motors have been improved. In this study, a simulation was carried out to conversion 1.3 JTD and 1.3 Multijet motors to electric vehicles and the performances of these forms are evaluated by comparing the motor power, torque, and speed of the two vehicles. It was tried to predict what kind of changes will be achieved by conversion these two cars into electrical forms. PID controllers were used for inspecting components. In the study including detailed calculations, the program named AVL Cruise was used. The findings have shown that the quality of the new electric vehicle equipment used instead of the internal combustion engine can also affect results. The graphs from electric vehicles were explained and compared in detail. It was observed that there may be significant differences in the efficiency of the vehicles as a result of the conversion of the internal combustion engine to the electric motor. This made the biggest difference between the two vehicles. Since there is no data related to the sale prices of vehicles in the case of the conversion internal combustion vehicles to electric vehicles, comparisons were performed only on equipment. The latest price information of the vehicles has not been discussed.
