Project Information

Overview:

The RIT Electric Vehicle Team is a student run organization dedicated to promoting the viability of electric vehicles through real world demonstrations of electric drivetrains in action. The team aims to educate people on the principles of electric vehicle design by engaging students in challenging and rewarding projects that cover a wide variety of academic disciplines. The team’s main project is to design, build, and race a high performance electric motorcycle for competition in the 2015 eMotoRacing all-electric race series. The current bike is based off of the frame from a 2005 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6RR, and utilizes two Zero Z-Force 75-7 motors paired with two Sevcon Size6 controllers. In house engineering includes the design and fabrication of a battery management system, battery containment modules, structural framing for the mounting of the powertrain, as well as advanced data collection and analysis software. Based on this, the team is currently in need of a high powered charger that can charge the bike's battery pack in a reasonable amount of time.

Project Goals:

The R.I.T. Electric Vehicle Team proposes a portable off-board charger for an electric super bike. In order to compete in the E-Moto Racing series, the team requires an efficient and reliable method of charging the bike's 12 Kwh battery pack. Unlike traditional battery chargers, the superbikes charger must conform to the J-1772 electric vehicle charging standard.

Customer Requirements (CR):

This list of customer requirements of anticipated activities.

|CR # |Imp. |Customer Need |Description |

|CR1 |1 |Battery connection |Able to safely connect and discount battery. |

|CR2 |1 |Power on / off |Able to safely power on and power off charger |

|CR3 |4 |LCD Display |Able to know the charging rates, state of charge, charging |

| | | |time, etc. |

|CR4 |3 |Adjustable |Able to select voltage and current |

|CR5 |1 |J-1772 standard |Able to implement given standard(s) |

|CR6 |3 |Communication with the Superbike |Able to communicate with the Superbike's BMS via CAN |

|CR7 |1 |Wall connection |Able to charge via J-1772 or 120V Wall connection |

|CR8 |3 |Documentation |Every facet of the project must be well documented with |

| | | |instructions where necessary |

|CR9 | | | |

|CR10 | | | |

Engineering Requirements (ER):

1. Power Requirements

a. The charger must be capable of charging a battery from full discharge to full charge in no more than 4 hours while using the J-1772 standard charging station

b. The charger must also be capable of operating through standard 120V 15A 60Hz wall outlets. While in this low power mode, the charger must be capable of charging the battery in no more than 12 hours

c. The charging system must automatically detect and switch between the low and high power modes

2. Control Requirements

a. The charger must be able to output voltage and current to within 20% of the nominal values in either mode. These outputs must also be regulated to within 1% of their set values

b. The charger must be able to vary voltage and current through both software and a user interface

3. Communication Requirements

a. Needs to conform to the J-1772 communication protocol for use in high power mode

b. During all modes of operation, the charger must be capable of communicating over CAN

Constraints:

Safety is of the upmost importance. It will be a factor in every aspect of the design. The batteries on the Superbike that will be charged have a large capacity, and as such, will not be readily available for testing. The Electric Vehicle Team has access to them and can provide them upon request. Most EVT members can be made available with a reasonable notice for assistance. EVT members will also be a regular part of the design process ensuring that their goals are met.

Project Deliverables:

Minimum requirements:

● All design documents (e.g., concepts, analysis, detailed drawings/schematics, BOM, test results)

● working prototype

● technical paper

● poster

Additional required deliverables:

● List here, if applicable

Budget Information:

List major cost items anticipated, and any special purchasing requirements from the sponsor(s).

Intellectual Property:

There are no IP restrictions on this project

Engineering Requirements & Specifications (revision 4)

Some features have been omitted since they do not necessarily have engineering metrics to rate success. These features include the user interface being simple and user friendly, Certain safety implementations such as key switches and emergency stops. These are addressed in the respected subsystem documentation.

Specifications

Below are the current specifications for the charger: They currently based on the XALT 63 Ah High Power LIPO Cells in a pack of 25 connected in series. The list will be continuously updated as more data becomes available.
