A Electric Vehicle Speed Control System Testing of Energy Consumption

Abstract

Electric vehicles are the right choice in Indonesia as an effort to anticipate the depletion of (fossil) fuel reserves. With the existence of electric motors, it is one of the opportunities and alternatives in reducing the use of fossil fuels. Unlike conventional engine motors with internal combustion systems derived from fuel. In an electric motor, it has two most important components, namely the battery and the electric motor (drive). Both synergize with each other as a storage medium or provider of electrical power, while other components function as a drive system. Precise control and monitoring are needed to ensure the efficient use of batteries in electric motors. This study aims to discuss the testing of the electric motor speed control system on the energy consumption released. To measure the speed of the motor and detect the rotation speed of the driving wheel on the electric motor, a proximity sensor is used, where this sensor will be installed close to the wheel to see the rotation speed on the wheel. As for the control system on the torque generated by the electric motor, it will be regulated based on the armature current with constant (fixed) field current conditions and use a transducer as the main controller with sensors on the controller.
