Simulation based study of electric vehicle parameters

Abstract

Electric cars play a clear and important role in solving issues related to the phenomenon of global warming, because when they operate, they do not emit any emissions that pollute the environment, and the electrical network can also be used to organize its work. However, there are still significant problems with electric cars that need to be fixed. The main challenges are all related to the battery package of the car. The battery package should contain enough energy in order to have a certain driving range and power capability. The first step in creating a decent electric vehicle model is choosing the right parameters and comprehending their properties. In this research, the electric vehicles are modelled. Three vehicle model is simulated with three different drive cycles. The simulation result demonstrates the significance of each segment parameter to the performance and fuel economy of electric vehicles. All works are performed in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
