Storage batteries store a fixed amount of chemical energy. The batteries can be recharged when the electrochemically active materials in these batteries have been used up. 2. List the components of electric vehicle. + Battery ‘© Electronic controller © Power convertor © Electric motor '* Mechanical transmission and wheels 3, Mention the advantages of electric vehicles ‘© EVs produce zero emissions at the point of use. © EVsare very efficient © Quick torque generation ‘+ Silent in operation © Requires minimal maintenance 4, What are the disadvantages of electric vehicles? ‘+ The batteries used in EV limit the average vehicle's driving range to between 100 and 200 km depending on the battery type. ‘+ Most batteries must be replaced after 400 - 500 charges, which is expensive proportion. ‘+ Lack of public charging infrastructure. 5. What is meant by Hybrid Electric Vehicle? Hybrid Electric Vehicles use the combination of engine of a conventional vehicle with an electric motor powered by traction batteries and/or fuel cell. This combination helps in achieving both energy and environmental goals. 6. List the various components of HEV drive train. + Fuel systems for hybrid power units, ‘+ Hybrid power units such as SI engines, Cl direct injection engines, etc., ‘+ Electrical energy storage systems such as batteries and ultra-capacitors. ‘* Electric traction motors/controllers. ‘© Transmission, 7. Mention the advantages of hybrid vehicles? ‘* The engine needs to handle only the maximum continuous load and not the peak load. ‘+ The hybrid’s electricity can be stored temporarily in a small battery or other similar device until it is needed for extra acceleration, Hence the weight, cost and fuel consumption of the engine can be reduced. Thus the fuel economy is improved. ‘+ Lower emissions compared to conventional vehicles.

In series design, the primary engine is connected to a generator that produces electricity. The electricity charges the batteries, which drive an electric motor that powers the wheels. What is meant by a parallel hybrid electric vehicle? In a parallel design, the energy conversion unit and the electric propulsion system are connected directly to the vehicle's wheels. The primary engine is used for highway driving and the electric motor provides added power during hill climbs, acceleration and other periods of high demand, What is meant by fuel cell? Fuel cells produce electricity, employing reaction between hydrogen and oxygen gases, electrochemically. Fuel cells are efficient, environmentally benign, compact, modular and reliable for power generation List the types of fuel cells ‘* Proton exchange membrane fuel cells ‘© Phosphoric acid fuel cells '* Molten carbonate fuel cells ‘© Solid oxide fuel cells © Direct methanol fuel cells © Alkaline fuel cells Mention the advantages of fuel cell EVs ‘+ Zero tailpipe emissions ‘+ Higher energy efficiency than the internal combustion engine ‘+ Regenerative braking captures and reused braking energy ‘© Energy security : no dependence on petroleum What are the targets for a potential EV battery? © High energy density ‘+ High specific power + Light weight = Low cost © Lower risk of smoke and fire hazard ‘+ Ability to charge quickly + Longer eyele/calendar fe Mention the electrodes and electrolytes in NiCd battery. The NiCd battery employs a nickel oxide positive electrode and a metallic cadmium negative electrode. The net reaction occurs in the potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte. \Write the equation for the reaction inside a NiCd battery Discharge Cd +2NiOOH ¥2H,0 <2 —-2NK(OH), + Cd(OH), (1.299 volts) Charge Downloaded by Shimi Sudha Letha (shim 4, List the advantages and disadvantages of NiCd battery The advantages of NiCd batteries are superior low-temperature performance compared to lead-acid batteries, flat discharge voltage, long life, and excellent reliability. The maintenance requirements of the batteries are also low. The biggest drawbacks of NiCd batteries are the high cost and the toxicity contained in cadmium. 5, Write the reaction of NiMH battery.
