Super capacitor/Battery based Hybrid Powered Electric Bicycle
Authors: ,
Abstract: This paper presents a smart power converter to enable an electric bicycle to be powered by a battery/super capacitor hybrid combination. A rear hub motor was retrofitted onto a normal geared bike powered by a lead acid battery pack. A super capacitor module was connected in parallel to the battery pack via a custom made arduino controller-based power converter which arbitrates power between the battery and super capacitor. The control method for the power converter was developed using a practical approach by using various inputs (battery/super capacitor current and voltage) and comparing the robustness of conventional control scheme. Also energy efficient components were used in designing the power converter to ensure maximum power transfer efficiency.
