MODELING AND SIMULATION OF AN ELECTRICAL VECHICLE

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

This project we are presenting the simulation and modelling of a basic electrical vehicle motor-drive system that is used to investigate power flow during both motoring and regeneration. The simulation assumes a DC permanent magnet motor. Electric vehicles are necessary in the shift away from combustion engine vehicles in order to reduce the transport sectors greenhouse gas emissions. Electric vehicles are likely to be an alternative energy mode of transportation for the future as it has shown a great ability to reduce the consumption of petroleum based and other high CO₂ emitting transportations fuels. This project focuses on a step-by-step design procedure which is the estimation of the ratings of different components in an Electric Vehicle . Physical modeling approach has been used for vehicle modelling to improve the modelling efficiency. Regenerative braking control is also been employed at the time of deceleration so that the kinetic energy is not wasted as heat. As some amount of it can be recovered and used for charging the battery, which can increase the Electric vehicle travel range.
