Description

The Power and Energy Vehicle Environmental Laboratory (PEVEL) PEVEL offers tools for vehicle powertrain assessment Equipped with multiple dynamometers, the PEVEL provides the tools required for full vehicle powertrain testing, evaluation and assessment on wheeled and tracked vehicles through external load control and data collection. PEOs/PMs, manufacturers, academics and researchers can use these tools to create, assess and validate vehicle design, functionality and utility in a fully controlled and repeatable environment. Capabilities The PEVEL chamber enables testing at temperatures from minus 60° F to 160° F and humidity levels from 0 to 95% relative humidity, making it possible to produce real-world vehicle performance and capability comparisons. The PEVEL can generate wind speed up to 60 mph and solar load up to 1,200 watts/per square meter (W/m2). Additionally, the PEVEL can process electrical power up to 800 kW, wheeled vehicle torque up to 34,000 pound-foot (lb-ft) and tracked vehicle torque up to 42,000 lb-ft. Compatible fuels for testing in the PEVEL include hydrogen, DF-s, JP-8, JET-A, bio-diesel and synthetic blends. Benefits • Functions as a test-bed to evaluate vehicle system performance in any operational environment. • Allows for testing in extreme climates under various loads. • Performs repeatable tests on components or vehicles, producing real-world vehicle and component performance/capability comparisons. • Functions as a systems integration laboratory (SIL); fully supports hardware-in-the-loop simulation. • Addresses the testing gap for multi-axle wheeled vehicles and provides additional evaluation capabilities for vehicle on-road performance.
