ESTIMATION OF ENERGY REQUIREMENT BASED ON VEHICLE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS USING DIFFERENT DRIVE CYCLES

In today's world, Internal Combustion (IC) engine vehicles dominate our roads, relying on petrol, diesel, or natural gas as their primary sources of fuel. However, the harmful pollutants emitted and the diminishing reserves of these conventional fuels have triggered a pressing demand for alternative energy solutions for our vehicles. Among the available options, electricity stands out as the cleanest and most promising source of power, giving rise to Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles as the answer to our environmental concerns. One crucial challenge faced by these innovative vehicles is accurately predicting the energy consumption during their journeys along various road courses. Solving this enigma holds immense significance as it allows us to estimate the required motor and battery specifications accurately. Within the pages of this book, we delve into the heart of this issue by exploring various drive cycles and meticulously examining the vehicle's performance under each specific condition. The knowledge and insights gained from this project are destined to play a pivotal role in facilitating energy estimation, thereby propelling advancements in the EV.
