Modeling and simulation of electric and hybrid electric vehicle powertrain

Abstract

These days, there is a higher demand for electric and hybrid vehicles due to the rising cost of fuel and its negative impact on the environment. To fulfil the higher performance demands of the EV and HEV, it is crucial to comprehend the behavior of the entire electric power train. We model and simulate the EV and HEV powertrain components in MATLAB to increase fuel economy and emissions reduction. When it comes to EV and HEV architecture, we use a DC Motor and BLDC Motor by adapting the physical specifications of the TATA NEXON EV. Watch how the vehicle performs differently while utilising different electric motors and control algorithms. We use libraries like Simscape, Powertrain Blockset, Control System, Simulink, and Vehicle Dynamic Blockset to model various drivetrain components in MATLAB and examine performance. The Modified Indian Drive Cycle (MIDC), which is used in India to assess and compare the performance of automobiles, should be utilized to test the vehicle.
