Project Overview

Recently, the major numbers of transportation sector utilize fossil fuel. Moreover, the process of burning fossil fuel damages the atmosphere by adding massive amounts of carbon. In the other hand, the fossil fuel reserves are depleting which leads to an increase in the prices in the market. Additionally, new environmental rules are being forced on the people in order to reduce carbon emissions. Thus, the rising of electric powered vehicles is seen as the top solution to reduce greenhouse emissions and save nature.
This project proposes advanced methods of assembling an electric drive system. A variable frequency drive (VFD) is implemented to drive a three-phase induction motor using a battery bank. Also, the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique is used to implement the VFD. To ensure the passengers safety, a mechanical braking system is implemented into the electric drive system.

Project Objectives

• Increase public awareness about impact of high demand on petroleum products and finding other measures to reduce this demand.
• Encourage adoption of echo friendly transportation vehicles.
• Reducing maintenance cost of vehicles.
