Abstract

Electric power to the vehicle is not free, because alternator consuming fuel consumption to operate. With normal 40% of engine efficiency the efficiency of the belt 98% alternator efficiency and 55%, this make overall energy conversion efficiency of only 21%. This power comes as a direct result of the fuel used in the engine to feed the energy conversion chain. This chain, as described below, starting with the chemical energy stored in fuel and ending with electricity from the alternator. Along the way there are power losses associated with any energy conversion process - including alternator. This loss leads to more fuel is used to produce a given amount of electricity. Obviously, as the alternator to be more efficient in the process of converting mechanical power to electrical power, fuel consumption. And even though the alternator power demand is usually small compared with the overall vehicle, impact on fuel cost is not trivial. This project is based on to identify the factor affecting the electricity generation, to optimize the best design of tyre rotation system to maximize the electricity generation using statistical approach and to establish model for electricity generating by using tyre rotation system.
