Braking Power Using Simulink

Aim:

To calculate the energy required for braking for a random drive cycle.

Solution:

A simulink model is made calculating the brake power of a random frice cycle.

Model:

The model is made in a way that a random drive cycle is taken.The intermediate values of speed are subtracted and and are compared whether it is greater or lesser than zero to conclude that whether acceleration or deceleration is happening.Kinetic energy is calculated for every intermediate acceleration value which is equal to the breaking power required to stop the vehicle.

Output:

The Output shows Braking power required at different points of aceleration in the drive cycle in Watts.

Result:

The braking power required is obtained in Watts as shown on the graph.
