Explanation of Solution

The electrical motor uses three types of braking the mechanical braking, dynamic braking and the Plugging.

Mechanical braking

In mechanical braking there are two type breaks drum and disc. In drum the pressure is applied to the metal cylinder called the drum by the help of break shoe. The drum is connected to the motor shaft. The pressure on the drum stops the motor from rotating. The disc rakes is most common braking, its working is similar to drum brake with difference that the brake pads exert the pressure on the spinning disc.

Dynamic braking

The dynamic braking is used to limit the dc motor and ac motor speed, in this method the motor supply is cut and rotating motor is connected across a load the power so produced is dissipated in the load thus stopping the motor.

Plugging

The plugging is the method used by the dc motor with the squirrel cage motor in this method. This is done by reversing the magnetic field in which the motor is operating. The reversing of the field reduces the speed and hence the motor.

A start-up company wants to convert an ICE vehicle into an electric vehicle with the following specification. Power:  250 (HP) horsepower, (note: 1HP = 745 W) Range: 300-miles Fuel economy: 33.5 kilometers per gallon of gasoline. Efficiency of the ICE: 25% Energy Conversion: One gallon of gasoline at 100% efficiency is equal to 33.5 kWh/gallon).     a)Calculate the EV consumption rate as Wh/km and find the total energy of the battery pack in KWh to replace the internal combustion engine.                                                                                             b)Design an 8-module battery pack for this full electric vehicle without compromising its range and performance (power). Use commercially available cylindrical cells lithium cell with 20Ah capacity and 3.125 V average voltage. Cell dimensions are 5cm diameter and 10 cm height.
