Web-Enabled Sytems (VE-Lab* Implementation) |
| |
ESL has developed a collaborative testing and experimentation platform for electric motor and power systems that can be remotely operated in real-time from any location around the globe using standard Web browsers with an internet connection. This platform operates as a virtual engineering laboratory (VE-Lab) that allows for fully interactive control of actual system hardware. The technology can be adapted to a variety of applictions, including the development of an efficiency-optimized hybrid electric vehicle starter/generator. Below is a block diagram of the HEV S/G system that shows the local in-laboratory subsystem and the remote-site subsystem, connected via the internet. A self-tuning fuzzy logic based efficiency controller can be operated collaboratively by local and remote users. This system allows for simultaneous control and data monitoring. Note that this architecture does not require any special software at the remote site, allowing seamless software upgrades. Password security can be used to restrict access to the system, if desired. Below is a remote screen capture with a variety of instrumented real-time streaming data. including velocity and efficiency plots.. . |
