Achieving high efficiency thermoelectric heating and cooling with metal foam heat exchangers
Clark, Gavin (2014-04-01)This thesis examines the development of a high efficiency heat pump system using thermoelectric (TE) and reticulated metal foam (RMF) technologies to power a vehicle`s battery thermal management system. The focus is split ... -
Design and implementation process for controls integration using CAN bus on a full function electric vehicle conversion
Provencher, Hugo (2014-03-01)From the electrical engineering perspective, this thesis addresses the design and implementation of the conversion process from a hybrid electric to a full function electric vehicle (FFEV). The architecture selection process ... -
Energy use analysis and technology for electric transit buses
Hinse, Pierre R. (2010-05-01)Electric vehicles offer a method of transportation where the energy generation process is moved from the on-board engine to the electrical generation system. The Canadian electrical generation mix has a significant portion ... -
Experimental and numerical quantification of EV and PHEV battery pack thermal isolation strategies
Brennan, Joseph (2015-10-30)The objective of this thesis is to quantify the effects of passive thermal management achieved through augmenting thermal isolation incorporated into an electrified vehicle’s energy storage system by design. Temperature ... -
Powertrain technology and cost assessment of battery electric vehicles
Qin, Helen (2010-04-01)This thesis takes EV from the late 90’s as a baseline, assess the capability of today’s EV technology, and establishes its near-term and long-term prospects. Simulations are performed to evaluate EVs with different ... -
Thermal network model development for an extended range electric vehicle battery pack with experimental verification through dynamic environmental exposure
Filion, Ryan (2017-01-01)The objective was to develop a thermal model of the Chevrolet Volt battery pack, with focused on the influence of packaging components external to the cell modules, and on the pack’s response to ambient environmental ... -
Well-to-wheel greenhouse gas emissions and energy use analysis of hypothetical fleet of electrified vehicles in Canada and the U.S.
Maduro, Miguelangel (2010-12-01)The shift to strong hybrid and electrified vehicle architectures engenders controversy and brings about many unanswered questions. It is unclear whether developed markets will have the infrastructure in place to support ...
