 DIYguru & InNoVaTiOn
DIYguru not only focuses on the static technical knowledge in the domain of EV, but also gives
equal attention to the importance of innovation. The domain of innovation would be abridged
without the scope of commercialisation. DIYguru addresses the value of these aspects, and aims to work
with industrial partners, to incorporate the possibility of innovation labs, incubation support and business
models from scratch. While it is essential to work on such innovation labs setup for the EV enthusiast, it is
critical to self introspect the technical resources of DIYguru and analyze how our vision and existing
resources can channelize the technical knowledge of participants, such that they can initiate and maintain
the essence of innovation within themselves, and how their innovation can be directed into an evident
business model. The following information below, highlights how the different domains of EV (as covered
by DIYguru technical team) would play a critical role in commencing or embarking the sense of innovation
within its participants, and how these domains could reinforce our vision or motive of working in the
domain of innovation labs and business-oriented incubation.

Vehicle Architecture-

Vehicle Architecture forms the backbone of Electric Vehicle development process. Transition from ICE to
EV requires new Chassis platforms which distribute the weight of all new components, lower CG and at the
same time can incorporate range of EV models with lower costs. This helps to lower upfront
manufacturing costs and needs minimal changes to Vehicle architecture.Few example of such platforms
are MEB(Modular Electric drive Matrix by Volkswagen), Global EV platform from GM,eTNGA(Toyota
Electric New Generation Architecture )CMF(Common Modular Family) architecture from Renault-Nissan
and e-GMP(Global Modular platform ) from KIA. Though the initial investment is high but with lot of cost
saving potentials as turn around time for developing new vehicles is reduced.

Innovation Capability-

DIYguru Course offers a basic understanding of all components Making up an EV. Our aim is to foster
innovation and trigger innovative mindset with variety of students from different background undertaking
these courses. With Vehicle architecture, one can think of the Location of Components such as Battery,
Motors in such a way that it can enable either Rear or Front or All-wheel drive vehicles. For this simulation
of vehicles, Load distribution is necessary. Along with which how these architectures can host a range of
Battery packs sizes and motor components with minimal changes can lead to the integration of different
vehicle families on the same architecture.DIY guru courses offer Simulation and Analysis courses where
students can learn to optimize different EV components.With various hands-on projects, students get an
opportunity to channel their thoughts to the product development process by presenting various Weight
optimizing options pertaining to components placed on EV architectures. This is not only limited to the
location of Batteries and Electric motors but also finalizing which battery cells to use, motors to select, and
integration of these components towards the product development process.

Vehicle Dynamics-

Since Electric power trains have started becoming commercially available their impact on vehicle
performance has become equally important.The integration of Electric power train with Vehicle dynamics
and control systems is going to be an important area of research.This integration can be discussed in
terms of Roll,Pitch and Yaw plane of vehicle as all these are couples planes and impact Ride ,Handling and
Stability Performance of the vehicle.Similarly, energy regeneration/consumption capability is also coupled
with Vehicle dynamics and controls.In future transportation technologies integration of controlled
subsystems which were earlier independent and open-loop will become closed loop ( e.g.Cruise control
will pave way for Adaptive cruise control ).The key component which connects electric vehicle
performance with vehicle dynamics is an electric motor.

Innovation opportunities-

Electric motors have three basic performance attributes.

1) Responsive to torque or speed demand

2) Reversible - works as motor or generator

3) Energy efficiency is more than 90%

DIYguru EV courses offer a deep dive into electric motor technologies and control.The students work on
modeling and analysis of Motors in softwares such as Ansys or MATLAB to analyze its performance from
different aspects.Another area of innovation in vehicle dynamics is controlling vehicle motion using torque
vectoring.This replaces traditional differentials with individual motors mounted on each wheel to control
torque output.This opens a huge opportunity for innovative minds to analyze how vehicle will react to
torque change and how it affects dynamics stability of vehicle.DIY guru offers Fundamental of vehicle
dynamics course which presents an opportunity to understand different dynamic aspects of vehicles.Here
we have discussed only about one technology.Similar to this there are multiple areas such as Vehicle
Braking and regeneration ,Integration of different sensors for Longitudinal and Lateral control of vehicle
such as Lidar,Camera,Radar and how it helps vehicle either maintain lanes or give alerts or stops vehicle
automatically based on the obstacle.Many such technologies will be there on EVs and offer tremendous
research scope for candidates.The truth is the future is going to CASE where C-Connected (technologies)
A-Autonomous S-Shared and E is Electric mobility and in each of these technology, Vehicle Dynamics has
huge role to explore tremendous opportunities in terms of SiL,HiL technologies.Future is truly Electric.
Battery Management System, Energy Production & Storage.

Energy storage is an important concept while designing an Electric vehicle. It's the powerhouse of the
whole machine that gives energy to each and every system present in the vehicle. The Modern Electric cars
and bikes come with Lithium ion battery packs which are made up of combination and configuration of
hundreds and thousands of Lithium ion cells of different construction and chemistries. Each and every cell
needs to be monitored and quantified for the optimum performance of the battery.

DIYguru briefs and procures the necessity of technology required for battery design and monitoring. The
Battery Management system (BMS) course is based on the complete walk around of BMS used in a
four-wheeler. The Design and Development of technology used in four-wheeler BMS is implied on the
understanding of the state of health, performance, thermal management, safety and communication with
battery powered components. The course covers topics such as:

● Data Acquisition

● Battery Monitoring Unit and Battery Control Unit

● Contractor control

● Active cell and Passive cell balancing

● BMS protection

● Cell Modeling and BMS modeling using Simulink

DIYguru also covers the concept of designing the battery pack from scratch to the final product. The
selection criteria of battery cells, chemistries, construction and energy requirements. Configuring the
combination of cells in series and parallel on the basis of energy density, weight and volume density. The
Designing of the battery pack on the basis of electrical, mechanical and thermal modes of failure.
Assembling, testing and validating the battery pack and the standards required for testing of lithium ion
battery pack. The complete design and analysis of the battery pack before the development as per the
project requirements. The course covers topics such as:

● Battery parameters and cell characteristics

● Electrical design of Battery pack

● Mechanical design of Battery pack

● Heat transfer and thermal management

● Assembling and testing

● Design and modeling of battery pack using Simulink and ANSYS

These modules and topics will enhance the creativity and innovative skills of the learner to approach with
different designs for the optimum and finesse performance of its battery pack. The understanding of BMS
and battery pack design will stronghold the energy storage management and regeneration of the energy
consumed by the vehicle. The selection of proper cells, cell balancing, combination and thermal
management will make a safe and economic battery pack with high energy rating.

Powertrain:

When climate change is the main concern, the atmost sustainability is needed in the field of automotive
industry in term of fossil fuel combustion, where Electric Vehicle with shortened acronym as EV took the
important alternate option. In this transition of ICEV to pure EV [The only propulsion is provided by motor
from a single energy source electricity] the Hybrid vehicle took birth [ propulsion energy is supplied from
different energy sources].

With the unveiling of the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020, manufacturers are adopting electric
vehicles in an attempt to reduce our dependence on imported oil. The ambitious plan aims to produce 6-7
million electric vehicles by 2020 with an estimated fuel savings of 2.2-2.5 million tons. Vehicle
manufacturers in India have a tough road ahead in meeting this goal and tailoring electric vehicles for the
Indian market.

The global low-speed vehicle market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% to reach a market size of USD
6.3 billion by 2025 from 4.2 billion in 2020. The global low speed electric vehicle market was valued at
$2,395.8 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $7,617.3 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 15.4%
from 2018 to 2025.The key factors driving the global low-speed vehicle market are increasing the rising
trend of using LSV in gated communities, hotels & resorts, industrial facilities, golf courses & college
campuses.

In this era of technology, the future is going to be truly Electric. EV system integration is going to CASE
where C-Connected (technologies) A-Autonomous S-Shared and E-Electric mobility and in each of these
technology modeling and system integration part has a huge role to explore tremendous opportunities in
terms of SiL,HiL,MiL technologies.

DIYguru supports it's students so that, irrespective of all the different architecture of EV, students can
utilize their thoughts in specific domains with different softwares like MATLAB/SIMULINK(including
ADVISOR, Quasi Static Simulation toolbox, etc.) , PSIM, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, HyperWorks,

DIYguru understands the Role Of Soft Skills in Innovation & Incubation

We’re aware of the criticality of the hard skills that are required by the professionals to excel in their
domain be it technical or not. As hard skills are the very core of your daily work and considering that is your
expertise.

What we somehow miss is the required emphasis on the soft skills that professionals must equip
themselves with in order to excel in their fields irrespective of the domain they belong to. Today, we’ll
understand how crucial it is to have the right soft skills to excel in the technical fields, but before that we
shall get a glimpse on what all comprises in the soft skills.
Soft Skills and their Importance

Soft skills are skills which deal with communicating with the people around, having a sense of emotional
intelligence, and such. Some of the crucial soft skills and its impact which shall be ingrained by the
professionals are as follows:

Critical Thinking: It is the ability to cerebrally analyze and conceptualize while absorbing information.

Public Speaking: It is the act of delivering information to the audience effectively.

Emotional Intelligence: It is an art of perceiving and handling emotions in the right manner.

Teamwork: It is when a group of members jointly perform a task that has a compounded effect.

Interpersonal Relation: This involves how good your relationship is with several people involved.

Problem Solving Skills: The process through which an individual solves a given problem through the right
approach.

Leadership Skills: It encompasses an individual’s ability to lead. It could be a group, work, initiative, or
organization.

Flexibility: It is an individual’s ability to stay agile in a given situation almost instantly and effortlessly.

Decision Making: It reflects the capability of a person in taking the right decision through a structured
approach while effectively analyzing the given situation.

Conflict Management: It demonstrates an individual’s ability to resolve conflicts through sound listening
and effective decisions after a thorough analysis.

Every professional shall inculcate the given soft skills to better express themselves and their work.

How soft skills help Innovation and Incubation

Innovation is referred to as the creation of something new, it could be a process, a product, or any services.
On a similar line, Incubation is to provide an environment to favorably develop something.

So, when we talk about incubation in terms of startups, then that refers to the incubators that support the
growth of a startup. Startups receive following supports through incubators by providing:

Partnership opportunities

Funding avenues,
Mentoring assistance,

Operational allowances, and so on.

It’s apparent that a certain level of innovation is always present in any startup as startups are known to be
backed up by innovations and therefore require incubation support to further flourish and grow. Therefore,
innovation and incubation go hand in hand.

Let’s explore different scenarios where the importance of soft skills is amplified in various ways such as:

When we talk about startups looking for partners to collaborate with, one has to reflect the teamwork skills
the employees have, the leadership skills that one possesses, and sharing the concept of their work with
their vision and mission in the most effective manner. So, despite having the best innovations ingrained in
your products and services, you might end up with fewer partnership opportunities and therefore resulting
in a threat to your funding avenues as well.

When looking for mentoring assistance from the leaders across the corporate world or some monetary
assistance required for your current engagements, it is always important to master up your soft skills to
better present your work and establish worthy credibility to all your stakeholders involved.

Retrofication

In automobile engineering, Retrofication is the replacement of a car's combustion engine and connected
components with an electric motor and batteries, to create an all-electric vehicle.

This method is being used extensively in Europe to convert diesel trucks and buses into zero-emission CVs
as it has helped reduce carbon emissions within big cities while also reducing congestion.

In 1993, India’s first three CNG stations were opened in Delhi for private and commercial vehicles. In1998
decision by the Supreme Court of India to phase out diesel buses from the roads of Delhi. The then-record
levels of pollutants in the air compelled the Supreme Court to grant relief to the citizens. The bench
proposed that the highly polluting buses be either taken off the roads or the diesel engine be replaced with
a cleaner alternative. Retrofit it with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). This policy decision enabled the
successful conversion of more than 30 lakh vehicles to CNG. Now, let’s jump back to the present day. Even
though the amount of emissions per vehicle is decreasing due to improvements in technology, pollution
levels are rising once again as the number of vehicles is increasing to meet the growing population. In
such a situation, a similar policy can be expected from the government. A similar wave is fast reaching the
shores of our nation again and this time it is retrofitting commercial vehicles into 100% electric.

Not one, not two, But many benefits of vehicle electrification.

1:- Reduce the emissions of vehicles that are already on the road, as electric vehicles do not produce any
emissions themselves.
2:- Reduce operations cost as the cost of electricity per km is significantly less when compared to petrol or
diesel

3:- Reduce the vast amount of waste created when cars reach the end of their lifecycle – as older cars or
those written off after a road traffic accident are typically scrapped. This creates a considerable amount of
metal, plastic and fabric waste, and uses a large amount of energy to recycle discarded parts into useful
materials.

4:- The maintenance cost of an Electric vehicle is considerably less than that of an ICE vehicle

How to Retrofication

Now that we know what retrofitting is, we can now learn what is needed to retrofit your vehicle.

The 1st step:- Make sure that vehicle's internal components are working or not? Elements such as the
transmission shaft must not be broken or cracked.

The 2nd step:- Remove all ICE-related hardware. Including engine, fuel tank, muffler, exhaust, starter, and
radiator. They will be replaced by myriad components, the most important of which is the electric motor.
The size of the motor used will depend primarily on the size of the vehicle, expected performance, and
weight.

The 3rd step:- The battery pack, the powerhouse of electric vehicles. One would need to decide between a
lead-acid battery and a lithium-ion battery. Lead-acid batteries used in golf carts are often installed,
although they generally provide a slim operating range on a single charge.

The 4th step:- lithium cells, which are smaller and lighter and can enable longer ranges but are more
expensive and require more protection electronics on board. How many batteries will be required will
depend on the vehicle and the available space in which they are to be fitted. You’ll also need a power
controller to regulate the flow of energy between the battery and the motor, a charging system to replenish
the batteries via an electric circuit, wiring harnesses, and myriad other components.

The total cost will depend on the vehicle you’re modifying, the range, and the type of performance you’re
expecting.

Course 1: Introduction to PYTHON and Data Analysis

In this course, students will be introduced to the python programming language and the concept of data
analysis. How data analysis has become one of the most important skills for students in different areas.
How data analysis and Python, is useful in every domain, ranging from mathematics to physics, from
computer science to electrical engineers. Every second company works with data, and so, requires
professionals, who can understand their data and can play with them! This course will bring out the
understanding and motivation to start a career in data analysis using python.
Course 2: Basics Of Python
This course will focus on the basics of the python language. Since python is currently the most used
language for data analysis, it is essential to cover all basics of python language. This course will start from
level zero and will take students to the level, where students could program independently and implement
the concept of variables, user inputs, loops, error handling, operations, conditionals, functions, and
statements. Students will be working on the number of assignments and developing smart programs. The
focus will be to bring confidence among students, to upskill themselves to higher python programming
expertise.

Course 3: PYTHON Intermediate- Data Structures and Advanced

Working with python basics will give students flexibility to upskill and upgrade their python knowledge to a
higher level. This will give you more understanding of analyzing and manipulation data with python
concepts in more detail. This course will take the student’s expertise to the next level, where students
would be able with more advanced examples and more sophisticated concepts. The students will work on
essential concepts of strings, file systems, lists, dictionaries, and tuples. Moreover, the students will work
with a large number of examples and will be given numerous tasks and assignments. These courses will
enable students to analyze and work with apparently endless data! students will be able to work
independently over a large number of sophisticated applications. These data structures will build a strong
foundation for the ideal start of data analytics.

The course will also enable students to be ideal candidates for python developer profiles. This course will
help students to think beyond the commonly used algorithms and concepts. Students will be able to work
on topics, such that they could retrieve and process databases right from the web! Students will work,
extract, and access the data from the web APIs. In order to access different data forms, students will be
taught the art of ‘regular expressions’ so as to define their own formula to retrieve the text from the
thousands of data lines over any website. Students will work on different protocols and will implement
their learning over different web data formats. Students will be introduced to the concept of OOPs
programming in python and SQL.

Course 4: Data Analytics Basic: Numpy and Introduction to Pandas

With the perfect knowledge in the python programming language, here comes the perfect time to make the
transition into the domain of data analytics. The beginning of the course will enable students to recollect
and revise the previously learned python structures, necessary to begin with data analytics. One of the
most important libraries to be able to understand data is the library Numpy. Understanding data in the form
of arrays and accessing them and manipulating them in array form will give you the foundation to learn
higher-level libraries in incoming courses. This course will focus on giving students that essential
foundation. The students will then dive into the heart of analysis! The pandas! Students will cover the
concepts of series, data frames, and performing essential operations and manipulations indexing, filtering,
sorting, correlating arithmetic, and so on.

Course 5: Data Analytics Intermediate and Visualization

In this course, students will work more extensively on analyzing data.students will work on the main areas
of data loading, cleaning, preparation, data wrangling, transforming data, and data aggregation. The actual
analysis comes here! Students will work on numerous examples, and will continuously work on random
datasets to see how each function is applicable. This course will cover the actual analysis of datasets and
will be able to apply the functions and algorithms in any possible manner based on their requirements.
Finally, students will cover the concept of ‘time-series’ enabling students to analyze stuff in different terms
of time intervals.

This course will also give students the kickstart! A push to dive into the world of visualizations. Certainly,
this course will be the easiest of all, as the actual analysis has been previously done in the past courses.
Students will learn, how to report and present their results with the use of graphs and charts. The most
fundamental library ‘matplotlib’ will be the main library we will focus on here. Students will then be
introduced to the ‘seaborn’ library, easing out the visualization tasks. Students will work on different graph
types of line plot, histogram, density plot, scatter, bar plots, and point plots. Since matplotlib and seaborn
have limited usage, students will be introduced with the more advanced and interactive library of ‘plotly’,
where students will work on more interactive visualization methods. From there, students are free to
explore more on their own ... a perfect ending!

Total number of Hours ~ 30 hours (technical content) + 20 hours

(project work)
 Project-Based Learning:

With every course curriculum, DIYguru ensures equal importance to the practical exposure. Therefore,
every student gets the opportunity to work on a minimum of one minor and one major project. Maximum,
each student can work on 4 minor and 4 major projects as well! The project phase starts at the end of the
2nd month of lectures. With each project, the teams are created based on following parameters:

● · Employability

● · Education background

● · Interest areas

● · Current expertise

Once the project teams are ready, every team presents their synopsis and project update via weekly update
sessions. To assist each student personally, each team is assigned with a technical mentor. The mentor is
responsible for the following activities:

● To ensure smooth working of the project with each team.

● To maintain the projected growth and assist team members with every query.

● To hold regular doubts sessions with his/her team members, to resolve any technical
query.

● To direct any non-technical query from the team members to the concerned DIYguru
member.

● To regularly monitor the performance of each team member and maintain a grading
report.

● To evaluate each student at the end of each project.

Once a student completes his/her assigned project, the team presents their final project and the DIYguru
offers the final major project to the qualified students.

The same methodology is followed during the major project. However, major projects require more
attention and skills, and therefore, with the completion of a major project, each participant shall receive an
additional certificate of completion of the project (along with the training certificate). With every project,
DIYguru ensures that the team members gain relevant skill sets and organizational/research abilities

Currently, the technical team plans to offer the 5-7 options as minor projects and major projects each, and
every participant is required to select atleast one project from each list respectively. 4 of the offered
options as examples are given as follows:

Minor Project: (~ 4 * 15 = 60 hours)

Project 1: Convert an existing ICE four-wheeler to an electric vehicle.

Project 2: Vehicle Modeling of an Electric bike with specific specifications.

Project 3: Modeling and Simulation of lithium cell parameter

Project 4: H Bridge Motor controller using MATLAB

Major project: (~ 4 * 30 = 120 hours)

Project 1:Design of Electric Motorcycle

Project 2:Design of Solar Powered Charging Station

Project 3:LI-Ion and BMS modeling for controlling fault events

Project 4:Modeling and Analysis of Complete EV in Matlab & Simulink

LIVE SESSIONS: weekly 2-3 hours ( 120 hours)

Once a week, the students shall have a minimum of one technical session (of duration 2-3 hours),
where the instructors will teach the domains of electric vehicles, currently important in the
automobile industries.

This includes the ongoing development in the electric vehicle market, the current research in the
automobile industry, the latest topics not included in recorded lectures, and so on.

With every live session, there will be a doubt session, and a project update session, where each
project team will present their project progress on a weekly basis. In case a student fails to
perform in a project, the technical team pays extra attention and allows that student to switch
projects to improve his/her performance. In specific, the following flow in terms of project support
is provided.
