Introduction ISIE-Electric solar vehicle championship is Asia’s largest solar championship. We aim to build student’s interest in Renewable source of energy. Our focus is to develop interest among the engineering student towards alternative power sources, which are the future of Automobiles. This can enhance their practical skills as well they can learn team management, so our engineering student will avail to face any hurdles in the way of real engineering. ESVC is a design and manufacturing of solar racing car event under ISIE Design Restriction so as to compete with other teams all over the country. Teams will use Electric motor to run their Vehicle. This will help them face real-world engineering design projects and other related challenges. Our focus to develop interest among the engineering student towards alternative power sources, those which are the future of Automobiles.

B. General information and rules B1.

Scope:

B1.1.

The scope of the Electric-Solar Vehicle Championship (An Indian Solar Challenge) is to stimulate research into, and development of, sustainable transport, meaning that the ESVC is primarily a design competition.

B1.2.

The regulatory philosophy is to provide the parameters upon which to base the design, rather than specify exactly how each is to be achieved. Science and technology evolve and to encourage the most innovative ideas, so too do the event requirements.

B2.

History of ESVC:

B2.1.

This Innovative initiative taken in 2013, and we organized Electric-Solar vehicle championship at Lovely Professional University, Punjab. ESVC held every year from 2013 in different state and Universities.

B2.2.

ESVC 2013-2014: In 2013-2014 ESVC organized very first time in Asia, we got very great response for this most innovative Event. 76 teams including NIT and top Universities/colleges participated in this event.

B2.3.

ESVC 2014-2015: In 2014-2015 event was organized in MM University, Haryana. ESVC’15 appreciated by Industries, Professors and Media (Top News Chanel and New Paper). ESVC 2014-2015, 92 teams participated and 52 teams successfully manufactured their Dream Solar Car. Teams from 17 states of India and Teams from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka also take part in this green event.

Innovation and best design awards

E4.1.

It is a static round. Our judges will check the team’s design skills and new ideas. Judges may question anyone in the teams regarding their vehicle’s design and innovation.

E4.2.

It is not a compulsory round however points from this round will be used to calculate the overall winners. Each award carries a maximum of 100 points.

E4.3.

Since it is static round it will be held right after the technical inspection.

E4.4.

Teams are advised to prepare separate reports for each of the awards, so that it will be easy for the judges to evaluate.

E5.

Brake and Acceleration:

E5.1.

Brake Test- All the Vehicles have to pass the brake test to participate in any of the dynamic events. The Vehicle must stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Vehicle. Each Vehicle will be given 3 attempts to pass the brake test. But in case if the Vehicle passes the test in first attempt it will not be given any other trials.

E5.2.

Brake Test does not have any points, but it is mandatory for the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round. Acceleration Test: The acceleration event evaluates the Vehicle’s acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement. Procedure: The cars will accelerate from a standing start over a distance of 50 m on a flat surface. The foremost part of the Vehicle will be staged at exactly behind the starting line. The time taken to accelerate would be measured. Scoring: The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsed time. Elapsed time will be measured from the time the car crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line. Scoring formula: Scoring formula: 150 × [(T longest – T yours)/ (T longest- T shortest)]

Endurance round (Stage A)

E9.1.

For stage A of endurance round teams has to drive continuously for 1.5 hours using their solar and battery power combined.

E9.2.

Total number of laps cover will be noted as LA.

E9.3.

If the vehicle stops due to mechanical failure then 15 min will be given to start the vehicle. If the vehicle cannot start in 15 minutes, the vehicle will not be allowed to run further in this stage and number of laps covered will considered final. The vehicle will also be disqualified for the stage B.

E9.4.

If the vehicles halts because of low battery then they can move their vehicle to side of the road to charge the batteries only with solar energy. Batteries


©ISIE-ESVC


charging level indicator should indicate low, otherwise it will be considered as a mechanical failure then the rules in the article D7.3 will be followed. E9.5.

On completing this stage the vehicle has to move their solar electric vehicle to specific arena to charge their batteries with solar energy. All the teams will be given one hour to charge their batteries with solar energy.

E10.

Endurance round (stage B)

E10.1.

Endurance round B will check the efficiency of the solar system. The vehicles have to drive only using solar energy without connecting to batteries. If they could drive with solar energy they are eligible for case 1 or they will be considered in case 2. Where in case 2 only power output will be checked and by using ‘power to weight ratio’ value, scores will be given. Overall maximum point for endurance B is 275 Points.

E10.2.

Case 1 Vehicle’s speed will be calculated. Team’s vehicle has to drive at least 40 meters of distance or else will not be considered in case 1. The range for this round is from 275 to 200. Here vehicles velocity will be calculated for scoring. Team with maximum velocity will be the winner of this round. It is team decision that whether they want to remove the battery or not. But battery should be totally disconnected from any electrical circuit and should be visible to judges. All other components that are fitted during the technical inspection have to be placed in this round.
