Abstract

This Paper presents as electronic actuation control unit which will provide an embedded energy of about 450J by\nconnecting four EDLC (Electric Double Layer Capacitor) of 3V and capacitance is of high value 25 F in case of emergency\nconditions such as during accidents if the main battery fails or if any problems occur in the wiring parasitic of vehicle\nconnectivity network. Ultra capacitor based energy system used in the electric vehicle propulsion and it provides high energy\ndensity for the electronic actuation control unit in case of emergency conditions. Ultra capacitor will provide the energy back\nup if main battery fails in the vehicle and it will provide the necessary voltage and current levels to the ACU to make the\nsystem to work in safe condition. Step-up converter (Boost Converter) will provide the voltage and current levels for to the\nload and it is used in SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) because it is having low switching losses and efficiency is high.\nACU can be designed on the PCB (personal Computer Board) which is inserted in the vehicle connectivity network. CAN\n(Controller Area Network) protocol is used in the automotive domain as the connectivity network. ACU will maintain the\npower level and provide power level of hundred of watts within a short time for the crucial mechatronic applications.
