Advanced Energy Vehicle System Analysis: AEV Lab Manual and Project Guidelines
This document outlines the Advanced Energy Vehicle (AEV) System Analysis lab, including objectives, procedures, and guidelines for conducting experiments and data analysis. Key tasks include downloading and converting data from an Arduino-controlled AEV system into physical parameters such as power, energy, and current. The document provides detailed instructions for programming the AEV controller, running MATLAB data analysis, and converting recorded data into usable metrics. The focus is on hands-on learning through experimentation and data interpretation, preparing students for advanced energy system design and analysis.

Lab Objectives • The objectives of this lab are: • Be able to download data from the automatic control system. • Be able to convert EEPromArduino data readouts to physical parameters. • Be able to calculate the supplied power to the AEV. • Be able to calculate the supplied incremental and total energy to the AEV.
Programming the AEV Controller AEV User Manual – System Analysis 1 • Follow Lab Procedure Guidelines to program the Arduino controller • Save Program • Run Program on Desktop stand • WAIT for MATLAB to process the data
Using the AEV Data Recorder AEV User Manual – System Analysis 1 • Open AEV Data Recorder program with MATLAB (aevDataRecorder.m) • Note: There is an updated version of aevDataRecorder.m on the course website under Project Documents. • Verify the AEV is connected to the computer • Run the MATLAB program to download the data • Open the data in the Excel Spreadsheet that MATLAB just created
AEV Data Conversion AEV User Manual – System Analysis 1 • The data recorded with the Arduino is in the form of integers that must be converted to physical parameters • Available data from Arduino includes: • EEProm Time (TE) • Current (IE) • Voltage (VE)
AEV Data Conversion cont. AEV User Manual – System Analysis 1 • Convert into the physical parameters of • Time (seconds) • Current (amps) • Voltage (volts) • Analyze the data by calculating: • Power (watts) • Incremental Energy (joules) • Total Energy (joules)
AEV Data Conversion cont. AEV User Manual – System Analysis 1 • A rectangular approximation of the power and time will be used to calculate incremental and total energy • There are 3 approximation methods:
AEV Data Conversion cont. AEV User Manual – System Analysis 1 • The midpoint method will be used by averaging the power of 2 neighboring points and multiplying by the time increment • Sum up the incremental energy for the total value used throughout the operation
System Analysis 1 Lab Lab Activity • Follow AEV Lab Manual and Lab Procedure Guidelines • Individual: • Create control program and test • Open AEV Data Recorder Program in MATLAB and obtain Arduino data • Analyze results
