Home Vehicle will be used in studies on hybrid automobiles Vehicle will be used in studies on hybrid automobiles March , Published in:Technology The car will serve as a platform for studies on hybrid technology, adapted to the Brazilian reality. On March , USP's Polytechnic School (Poli) received a Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle, which will be used for teaching and research activities on this technology. The car, equipped with a combustion engine and an electric engine, was delivered to the institution in a ceremony held at the headquarters of the Secretariat of Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation of the State of São Paulo (SDECTI), in Jaguaré, in São Paulo . The Prius will be used by Poli's Automotive Electronics Group, made up of professors from the Departments of Electronic Systems Engineering (PSI) and Energy and Automation Engineering (PEA), as well as undergraduate, master's and doctoral students. The Group plans, in research involving the Prius.
Master the management of the propulsion of hybrid vehicles and contribute to new control techniques. According to PEA professor, Eduardo Pellini, Poli will contribute to the advancement of scientific and technological knowledge on the use of hybrid technology applied to the Brazilian reality. “Brazil has peculiarities, such as the presence of ethanol and flex engines and the energy matrix based on hydroelectric gen Whatsapp Number List eration. We will develop research to support Toyota by offering knowledge about adapting technology to the national scenario”, he explains. Pellini is already supervising two doctoral students who will use the Prius loaned by Toyota to advance their research. One of the works deals with batteries used in hybrid engines, including evaluating the entire life cycle of the product. The other doctoral project focuses on energy management in vehicles. Human resources training According to PSI professor Armando Antônio Maria Laganá, member of the Automotive Electronics Group, Poli plans to creat.
Subject for the institution's Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering Program, using the Prius. “Our main objective, with research and courses, is to contribute to the process of training human resources in the automotive electronics area so that Brazilian engineering can increase its participation in global projects”, he concludes. The Prius' electric motor works like a generator and is not charged by conventional electricity, as many people imagine. It captures the kinetic energy produced by braking and transforms it into electrical energy, which is stored in the electric motor's battery. In a common vehicle, this energy is released in the form of heat. When the Prius moves at a speed of up to kilometers per hour (km/h) and the batteries are charged, the combustion engine remains deactivated and there is no fuel consumption. As the car's speed increases or requires greater force, such as when going uphill, for example, the combustion engine is activated and the intelligent system controls the use of both.
