Design, simulation and performance analysis of a battery electric vehicle model

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs), in today’s scenario have become a replacement of conventional mode of transportation as they have shown an ability to minimize the carbon and sulfur emitting fuel operating vehicles. In this study, the components of the battery operated EV (BEV) systems are discussed and a model of BEV on the MATLAB-Simulink platform is simulated. Moreover, the relevant electrical system components as well as its corresponding equations for verification are identified. Furthermore, all simulation results were considered. Thus this study presents a foundation for higher researches in the field of EVs.
