PINAHA

To accelerate the penetration of electric cars in the near future, a company engaged in the field of electricity suppliers component vigorous develop technology “electronics power ” with smaller size and more cheap price. One is Continental which has taken over Siemens VDO from Germany.

According to the company, whereas they are now developing components and complete system of electric cars, namely the energy storage units (batteries), power electronics and electric motors.

Small & Cheap
One improvement is considered significant to the success of Continental power is the product named generation electronic-2 with smaller size, only 30 percent from the previous version. The result, so it’s easy to install, the price becomes more cheaper.

With these successes, electric vehicle components manufacturer believe that transition will happen fast from conventional cars to electric. Moreover, most users of daily car traveled about 100 km.

The main task of power electronics is changing the direct current from the battery into alternating current in electric motors, as well control the work. Power electronics is also used on wasted energy can be stored longer. For example when the car brakes.

In addition, when the regenerative braking energy is active, the system works in reverse, producing more energy to be stored in the battery. There are also additional converter AC / DC are united on the electric power house. Converter is used to change the battery voltage on power supply system or vice versa.

Electric Motor
Continental also uses external synchronous machine called an electric motor incorporated in the transmission. Transmission will change the speed of the car around the motor functions as well as energy management systems.

Type Continental developed the motor works on a wide rev range and it works very efficiently. The result, energy consumption in real driving cycle, both in the city or outside the city, remained frugal. Added, which can produce power the electric motor reaches 60 kW (90 PS). Now is also being developed electric motors that can generate power 120 kW (163 PS).

In City
In the future, electric vehicles will play an important role on the short trip in town or with the distance of about 100 km per day. Based on the survey, most of today’s car owner, use traditional daily vehicle for 100 km farthest.

Based on the survey, showing that most dominant driver of the car is very short travel in urban areas. Two-thirds more than they have to fight through the traffic jammed the city’s growing. the factors that mention cause the use of electric cars will grow faster.

Advantages using electric or hybrid cars in crowded cities, a.k.a reduce exhaust emissions and noise are big enough. This is, not only will help the city, as well as those who have most of the activities in the city.

Meanwhile, car manufacturers from all over the world, also increasingly offer electric cars. Including the prototype for a sports car. Audi for example by e-Tron, Mercedes-Benz with AMG SLS. and BMW has introduced electric cars in the Series-1 which is named ActiveE.
