Development and Implementation of a Fault Mitigating Control System for a Biodiesel Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle for the EcoCar: The NeXt Challenge Competition

The automotive industry is continuously developing, and with it hybrid vehicle technology is a growing field of interest. The design of the electric vehicle is a pressing matter and grows in complexity with new powertrain components such as power inverters and transmission systems that use electric motors. As a control system develops, the architecture always comes back to systems engineering documentation to find safety protocols, solutions to problems through fault testing, and validating and verifying the control architecture throughout the whole process. Testing and evaluation plans are required more than ever and are constantly being updated and implemented in today\u27s automotive production standards. The paper discusses the development and implementation of the control system through the use of systems engineering of a hybrid vehicle as part of a competition called EcoCar: The NeXt Challenge

DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM FOR THE UTP INTEGRATED RENEWABLE ENERGY POWER GENERATION

Renewable Energy (RE) got advantages over the conventional fuel energy generation. The only obstacle emerge is the supportability to the load demand and intermittency of power. This problem makes the natural resources are wasted for many years. Many approached had been applied from previous study. However, it required a high cost to develop the system. Home or commercial sector cannot afford to invest in implementing this technology. In conjunction of increasing the efficiency of power extraction, the centralized system are yet to be developed. The innovation of low cost system are still available to challenge. In this study, an approached proposed is to use the board from the National Instrument myRIO-1900 Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) and LabView software for commercially approach. By implementing this board and software, the integrated system of many sources from renewable energy are expected to develop
