What is the difference between a normal hybrid vehicle and a PHEV?
Normal hybrid vehicles are only able to charge internally.
The battery in a PHEV has a substantially larger storage capacity.
A PHEV is able to plug into a standard three-prong wall outlet to recharge its battery.
PHEV And Wind Turbine Research
The goal of our PHEV and Wind Turbine research project is to determine the feasibility of charging a PHEV using a small residential Wind Turbine.
Another focus of the research project is to monitor how different driving conditions, such as temperature, affect the performance of the PHEV.
PHEV And Wind Turbine Research Cont.
Using the information from Hymotion, we have determined that the PHEV should be able to achieve a maximum of 8 miles/kWh. This figure was determined by considering its maximum estimated driving range of 40 miles and its 5 kWh battery capacity.
Based on our current data, we are averaging approximately 4.4 miles/kWh.
Our overall range is between 3 miles/kWh and 5 miles/kWh.
The V2Green System Cont
The V2Green system uses two basic components:
The V2Green Connectivity Module (VCM) records and transmits data to the V2Green system and to the PHEV in-vehicle computers for data acquisition. (Includes GPS system.)
The Cellular Data Modem (Raven XCEL) communicates with the V2Green/Gridpoint servers. Data about the vehicles trip information, such as gas consumption, electricity consumption, MPG, Wh/Mile, distance, etc., is uploaded continuously.
