Abstract
The transport sector has proven to be the largest contributor to global CO 2 emissions. To reduce CO 2 emissions and improve mileage, the existing research has proposed different fuel models for vehicles such as Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), Electric Vehicles (EVs), solar and hydrogen Vehicles. However, these vehicles suffer from a range of issues and solutions are required to increase range, and improve charging. In this context, we propose A Novel Hybrid Fuel Framework for Modern Vehicles, to reduce CO 2 emissions and increase vehicle mileage, by managing energy resources efficiently through the application of Fuzzy Logic. It considers three different energy sources i.e., gasoline, solar and electric power, to charge a vehicle, and suggest a modification in the architecture of EVs is made for the availability of all these energy resources. We use Visual Studio to implement fuzzy logic based algorithm designed to simulate the proposed system and added a small gasoline engine to the existing architecture of EVs to provide energy resources that overcome charging issues during long-range travel. We use the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) tool to evaluate the performance of the proposed framework for CO 2 emissions and fuel efficiency. The proposed framework achieves the best mileage of 57.6 Kilometers per liter (Km/l) with a 660 Cubic Centimeter (CC) gasoline engine which is 111.11% more efficient than existing frameworks. Moreover, CO 2 emissions through our proposed framework are 41.52 Grams per Kilometer (G/Km) which are 53% lower than current frameworks. The proposed framework also improves the charging duration of batteries i.e., a 10 Kilowatt-Hour (KwH) battery can be charged in 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Highlights
The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption [1]
In Norway, for example, the transport sector accounted for 31% of total
According to the statistical report of International Energy Agency (IEA), the world’s oil consumption per day is 93 million barrel which makes an emissions of CO2 approximately 330 million tons of CO2 emissions globally in 2017, rising to 334 million tons in 2018 [4]
Summary
The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption [1]. In 2015, the transport sector was responsible for around 24% of the global emissions of GHG [2]. In Norway, for example, the transport sector accounted for 31% of total. National GHG emissions and passenger cars were responsible for a third of this [3]. According to the statistical report of International Energy Agency (IEA), the world’s oil consumption per day is 93 million barrel which makes an emissions of CO2 approximately 330 million tons of CO2 emissions globally in 2017, rising to 334 million tons in 2018 [4]. Even though there are multiple sources of energy as shown
