Students Analyze Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Mahesh Pappu and Rajashekar Mareddy (MSA candidates, Class of 2008) are analyzing performance data on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles used by the City of Raleigh in conjunction with Centennial Campus-based Advanced Energy. The data are collected using on-board data loggers and off-board kilowatt hour meters during charging, and analyzed using JMP. The project is led by Advanced Energy’s Ewan Pritchard and Ken Dulaney.
