Design and Simulation of Electric Vehicle Powertrain Kinematics and Components Using MATLAB/Simulink

Abstract

The introduction of electric power trains is a significant factor that has made it possible to come up with power trains with unique characteristics needed for EVs. In this paper, the simulation of electric vehicle powertrain and Modeling and simulation of electric vehicle powertrain with MATLAB/Simulink has been made in depth for the design of Electric vehicle powertrain. This include detail modeling of the elements of the powertrain including the electric motor, the transmission system, and the battery pack together with the vehicle dynamics. In this case kinematic analysis of mechanical and electrical subsystem is done in order to determine compatibility for torque and speed of different cycles of drive. This allows for characterization of the component’s performance during dynamic situations and the assessment of the entire system response, power consumption and drivetrain dynamic characteristics. The outcomes confirm MATLAB/Simulink to be a viable tool in the study of Electric powertrains as a vehicle concept and an effective medium on pre Relative Layout stage and compressed electrical automobile advancement.
