Shri Ram Murti Smarak College of Engineering & Technology (SRMS CET), Bareilly has achieved a significant milestone with its groundbreaking project, “Modification of Fossil Fuels to Electric Vehicles using advanced 4 KW PMSM DC Drive Motor & IGBT/MOSFET Based DC to DC Converter”(or “Electro-Revolution: Revitalizing Rides with 4KW Power & Green Drive Tech). Led under visionary mentorship of DR RAJESH GANGWAR, Assistant Professor, Electrical & Electronics Engineering Department & B Tech (EN) students (Batch 2020)— Yashaswee Chauhan, Shubham Sharma, Akshya Mishra, Ayush Kumar & Ravi Singh, this initiative marks a pivotal step towards sustainable, eco-friendly & viable innovation in personal & commercial transportation.
This revolutionary project, showcasing institution’s commitment to environmental consciousness & technological advancement, not only demonstrates collaborative efforts of college community, but also highlights cutting-edge solutions for a greener future with capability to adapt.
However, the brainchild of the project is Shri Dev Murti, Chairman SRMS Trust, who assigned it to EN Department, to turn the idea into reality. Initially 5 designs were shortlisted, out of which,4KW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) DC Drive motor & IGBT/MOSFET-based DC to DC Converter were chosen for implementation.
Sharing project details, Dr Rajesh Gangwar says, “Our team replaced internal combustion engines of modified petrol Maruti 800 with state-of- the-art 4KW PMSM DC Drive motor, known for its efficiency & high torque density. An IGBT/MOSFET-based DC to DC Converter & controller was also integrated, ensuring a stable power supply for auxiliary systems. Tested with 5 passengers, the vehicle turned out to be significantly reducing carbon emissions, operating costs & increasing energy efficiency. Despite many challenges in selecting optimal battery technology & ensuring regulatory compliance, the project was completed successfully.”
