ABSTRACT<br />

COSTA, WASHINGTON DA. Metho<strong>do</strong>logy to convert internal combustion engines<br />

vehicles to operate with electrical power: a radial magnets permanent flux magnet<br />

synchronous motor is custom-ma<strong>de</strong> to a Van, Brazil. 2009. Thesis (Mechanical<br />

Engineering Program) – College of Engineering, State University of <strong>Rio</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Janeiro</strong> –<br />

<strong>UERJ</strong>. <strong>Rio</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Janeiro</strong>, 2009.<br />

Climate changes, atmospherics characteristics and environmental pollution<br />

have turned the final use of energy an issue of special interest to be addressed by<br />

studies all over the world. The mix of energy, characterized by the Brazilian energy<br />

sources, makes it possible to consi<strong>de</strong>r the <strong>de</strong>velopment and better un<strong>de</strong>rstanding of<br />

this technology in or<strong>de</strong>r to reduce <strong>em</strong>issions. This work is mainly concerned in<br />

presenting a metho<strong>do</strong>logy to convert internal combustion engines vehicles to operate<br />

with electrical power. Metho<strong>do</strong>logy herein proposed takes into account aspects such<br />

as weight, size, <strong>de</strong>parture torque, transmission, power and others. The metho<strong>do</strong>logy<br />

consi<strong>de</strong>rs factors such as weight and size, <strong>de</strong>parture torque, transmission, power and<br />

others. Math<strong>em</strong>atical tools and current practice provi<strong>de</strong> the basis for preparing this<br />

work, which <strong>de</strong>scribes the analysis of electric vehicles performance, components<br />

used, mechanical equations, and criteria for choosing the i<strong>de</strong>al vehicle for<br />

conversion. It is presented the impl<strong>em</strong>entation of a project to convert a van in electric<br />

traction, whose main objective is trying to promote educational benefits of electric<br />

vehicle technology. In or<strong>de</strong>r to <strong>de</strong>velop the experiment, the paper conclu<strong>de</strong>s the need<br />

of expanding the <strong>de</strong>mand for nationalization of technology that would make the<br />

project a commercially viable reality. In addition, there is a need for public policies to<br />

encourage electric vehicle technology in Brazil. This work presents a contribution to<br />

convert vehicles to electric traction, since it syst<strong>em</strong>atizes steps of the project in which<br />

others would follow, based on what it is available in the <strong>do</strong>mestic market.<br />

Key words: electric vehicles, conversion, electric motors and Environment.
