In order for small electric vehicles to drive on hilly roads in Korea, methods to improve the climbing ability and power performance of vehicles should be taken. In order to improve the power performance of small electric vehicles, the performance of motors mounted on electric vehicles should be improved. However, if the performance of the motor is improved to improve the power performance of the electric vehicle, it is possible to lower the price competitiveness accordingly. In addition, the power consumption of the battery is rapidly increased to drive the high-performance motor, so in order to introduce the small electric vehicle into the domestic market, various problems must be overcome. In order to commercialize small electric vehicles that do not emit harmful exhaust gases to the human body in the hilly domestic terrain, it is effective to introduce a separate continuously variable transmission system that can improve the climbing ability and power transmission ability. In this study, we propose a proprietary model of continuously variable transmissions that can be applied to small electric vehicles. The proposed continuously variable transmission is equipped with a spring in the driving pulley and the driven pulley, and has the advantage of performing a shift that increases torque in a situation where the vehicle needs to increase torque when driving on a hill. In addition, the basic design for commercialization of the proposed continuously variable transmission was carried out, and the prototype manufactured and attached to the body of a small electric vehicle.

In this study new CVT(Continuously Variable Transmission) system which is adaptable to a small size electric vehicle is proposed available to gradient response CVT. New pulleys consist of springs adapted driving pulley and driven pulley. At the moment a small electric vehicle drive a slope, new system respond to a gradient as overcoming tensional force of springs. We made prototype of gradient response CVT to test parts performance and travelling performance test. As a result of test, belt pitch diameter varied for high torque direction at the gradient. In the flat travelling, acceleration travelling and gradient travelling performance test, the small electric vehicle with gradient response CVT get improved perfomance than the small electric vehicle with reduction gear.

Global warming is causing abnormal climates such as floods, droughts, and typhoons all over the world. According to some scientists, carbon dioxide emitted from automobiles is the main cause of global warming. To cope with this, each country is making efforts to replace the existing fossil fuel-powered engine-driven cars with electric vehicles. In order to commercialize small electric vehicles in Korea, it is necessary to solve many problems such as improvement of hill climbing capacity and improvement of power performance. In this study, we propose a proprietary model for a continuously variable transmission(CVT) of a small electric vehicle that can be operated on hills, in which a spring is mounted on a driving pulley and a driven pulley. A prototype of the CVT model using a spring was manufactured and attached to a small electric vehicle body.

As a means to cope with the climate change crisis caused by global warming, automobile manufacturers continue to make efforts to use the driving energy of vehicles as electricity. As a result, parts industry such as battery, motor, and controller are attracting attention. China is often seen in large cities, with electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and small electric vehicles popularized and commercialized, mainly in large cities. However, small electric vehicles are not popular in Korea, which is why the country's topography is high in hills. In order to drive the hilly domestic roads, power performance including vehicle climbing ability should be improved. In order to improve the power performance and the climbing capacity of small electric vehicles, the capacity of the motor should be increased. However, when the performance of the motor is improved, the weight of the motor becomes heavy and the price competitiveness is likely to decrease. In addition, in order to operate a high-performance motor, the power consumption of the battery is rapidly increased, so various problems must be solved. In order to commercialize a small electric vehicle for one or two people who do not emit harmful exhaust gas to the human body in a hilly domestic terrain, it is effective to have a separate transmission system. In this study, we were conducted dynamometer test to produce a continuously variable transmission(CVT) system prototype using a spring that can be applied to a small electric vehicle and to install a CVT system prototype manufactured in a small electric vehicle. The dynamometer test results showed that the maximum speed performance, acceleration performance, and climbing performance were improved.

Recently, major developed countries have strengthened automobile fuel efficiency regulations and carbon dioxide emission allowance standards to curb climate change caused by global warming worldwide. Accordingly, research and manufacturing on electric vehicles that do not emit pollutants during actual driving on the road are being conducted. Several automobile companies are producing and testing electric vehicles to commercialize them, but it takes a lot of manpower and time to test and evaluate mass-produced electric vehicles with driving mileage of more than 300km on a per-charge. Therefore, in order to reduce this, a simulation model was developed in this study. This study used vehicle information and MCT speed profile of small electric vehicle as basic data. It was developed by applying Simulink, which models the system in a block diagram method using MATLAB software. Based on the vehicle dynamics, the simulation model consisted of major components of electric vehicles such as motor, battery, wheel/tire, brake, and acceleration. Through the development model, the amount of change in battery SOC and the mileage during driving were calculated. For verification, battery SOC data and vehicle speed data were compared and analyzed using CAN communication during the chassis dynamometer test. In addition, the reliability of the simulation model was confirmed through an analysis of the correlation between the result data and the data acquired through CAN communication.

전기 자전거 또는 전동 킥보드와 같은 소형 전동차량은 차량에 장착된 배터리를 충전하여 운행되는데,이들 이용자 중 일부는 공동주택이나 공공시설물에 설치된 비상용 전기 소켓을 시설물 허락 없이 이용하는 경우가 늘어나고 있다. 이와 같은 사유로 간단한 설비 구축만으로 전력의 사용을 승인 받고 아울러 이용 요금을 즉시 지불할 필요성이 건물관리자는 물론 소형 차량 이용자들로부터 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 공동주택이나 공공건물에 기 설치된 15[A] 전기 소켓에 급전제어장치를 추가로 설치하여 1[kW] 이하의 소형 전동차량에 장착된 배터리를 충전하여 사용할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 또한 전력 사용자 승인 알고리즘과 사용된 요금의 부과 방안에 대하여도 기술한다. 본 연구의 결과로 소형 전동차량에 장착된 배터리를 손쉽게 충전할 수 있는 환경을 조성함으로써 도전(electricity theft) 방지 효과를 가진 사용자인증 전력공급시스템을 구현한다.

Automobile manufacturers in each country are spurring the development of electric vehicles that use electric energy, an eco-friendly energy, as a futuristic vehicle. Electric vehicles have the advantage of no harmful gas or environmental pollution and low noise. Unlike automobiles using existing internal combustion engines using fossil fuels, electric vehicles use the electricity of batteries to cause rotational motion of motors. In the electric vehicle driven by the motor, it is indispensable to develop a controller for controlling the motor. One of the areas where automobile manufacturers are concentrating is the development of small electric vehicles as a personal transportation means. Small electric vehicles such as electric motorcycles, one-seat electric vehicles and two-seat electric vehicles are expanding the market as a means of operating throughout the city. In the domestic road conditions with many hills, it is effective to have a separate transmission system for small electric vehicles to drive smoothly. In this study, we propose a new type of continuously variable transmission(CVT) system to ensure that small electric vehicles can be driven smoothly in hilly domestic terrain. The proposed CVT system is equipped with a basic disk and a rotational disk in the driving pulley and the driven pulley, respectively, and is applied with a sloping spline to rotate the rotational disk. To commercialize the proposed CVT system, an experimental device was developed to examine the power transmission efficiency and the configuration of the CVT system was proposed.

전기자동차는 석유 연료와 엔진을 사용하지 않고, 전기 배터리와 전기 모터를 사용해 구동하는 자동차이다. 가솔린을 사용하지 않아 주행중 탄소배출량이 거의 없어 연비 및 이산화탄소 절감 측면에서 매우 우수하며, 운영비용 및 에너지 효율도 뛰어나다. 2010년대에 들어와 GM, 르노 등 주요 자동차업체들을 중심으로 전기자동차 개발이 활성화되어 GM의 '볼트, 닛산의 '리프' 등이 상용화되어 시판되고 있다. 그러나 많은 장점에도 불구하고 비싼 가격, 충전 인프라 부족 등으로 인해 실제 판매는 매우 부진하여 암울한 전망을 노정하고 있다. 부진에 빠진 전기자동차 산업을 성장시키기 위한 정책적 대응방향으로는 전기차 생태계 구축, 충전 인프라 구축, 국내외 표준화 활동 증진, 정부의 적극지원과 부처간 정책조정 등의 노력이 필요하다.
