Design of HMI Based Digital Electric Bike Using DC/AC Power Converter with Regenerative Feature

Abstract

The research project introduces an efficient HMI-based digitally controlled electric bike hardware model. The system is designed using power electronics and LCD touch control. A low-cost model with regenerative features increases the acceptance of electric vehicles in Pakistan. The country is facing grave environmental issues and the transport sector has a major role in polluting the environment. Technology also promotes the environment-friendly electric vehicles Industry and reduces the growing pollution problem of the country. Economical transport with feasible milage is an essential need of the current time. Research provides the effective Electric-bike with digital security and improved mileage. A Six-Step DC/AC power converter drives the low consumption BLDC motor. The project analyzed the real-time performance of the electric vehicle on HMI. A regenerative braking system generates power while reducing the speed of a moving electric bike. The modeling and simulation are performed using Proteus/Multisim simulating software. Results are verified using a hardware test model. The results will be helpful for design commercial advance HMI-based electric bikes in terms of motor requirement, machine behaviour, charging/discharging analysis at a different speed and torque, charging the battery while driving, and their limitations.
