Final Project: Design of an Electric Vehicle

Note : i am part of live ev batch 13

Theory :

  • Electric vehicle compared to classic internal combustion engine vehicles , are fairly simple and easy to operate.
  • An Ev ( electric vehicle) is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motors or traction motor for propulsion .

Components of an EV :

1 ) Battery:

  • The battery of an electric vehicle can be charge through the use of ordinary grid electricity at a specialized power station.
  • But aside from the conventional lithium - ion battery technology , they ae also major battery technology which can be used for electric car .

2 ) Motor Controller :

  • The motor controller of an electric car administers its complete operation and the distribution of its power at any given movement .
  • Its acts as a floodgate between the motor and batteries .
  • It helps monitor and regulates all key performance indications such as the vehicle's operator , motor , battery , and accelerator pedal .
  • It has a microprocessor which can limit or redirect current .
  • It is used to either improve the mechanical performance of the car or suit the operator's driving style .
  • There are also more refined controllers which are capable of greater accuracy and thus, higher efficiency .

3 ) Electric Motor :

  • Unlike a gasoline engine with lots of moving parts , a motor only has one moving part .
  • This makes it a very reliable source of motive power .
  • Choosing an electric motor depends on the car's system voltage .
  • They can be structured to use either AC or DC current .
  • AC motors are less expensive and lighter compared to DC motors .
  • They tend to suffer from less mechanical wear and tear .
  • However , AC technology requires a more refined or sophisticated motor controller .

B ) modeling of an electric vehicle :

1 ) vehicle subsystem:

  • Vehicle sub- system consist of :

1 ) Magic tire (4) in which two for front axle and two for rear axle .

  • Magic tire has 4 ports
  • N port of the tire correspond to normal reaction force.
  • A port correspond to mechanical rotational conversing port for yhe wheel axle .
  • H is the mechanical translational conserving port for the wheel hub .
  • connection S is physical signal output port that reports the tire slips .
  • input for tire are as follow.

2 ) Vehicle body :

  • This block represent two axle vehicle body in longitudinal motion .
  • the block account for aerodynamic drag , road inclination , and weight distribution between axles due to acceleration and road profile .
  • Connection H is mechanical translational conserving port.
  • Connection V, NF and NR are physical signal output ports for vehicle velocity and frontal and rear normal wheel forces , respectively .
  • inputs of the block are shown below .

2) D-c Motor :

  • This block represent the electric and toque charecteristic of a DC motor .
  • When positive current flows from the electrical ports , a positive torque acts from the mechanical C to R port .
  • Motor torque direction can be changed by altering the sign of the back - emf of the torque constant .

3 ) H bridge :

  • This block represent an H bridge motor drive .
  • The block can be driven by controller pwm voltage block or Average mode .
  • In avg mode , the pmw port voltage divided by the PWM signal amplitude parameter defined the ratio of the on -time to the pwm period.

4 ) Controlled PWM voltage :

  • The block create a pulse - width modulation (PWM) voltage acros the PWM and REF ports .
  • The output oltage is zero when the pulse is loe and is equal to the output amplitude parameter when high.
  • Duty cycle is set by input values .

5 ) Longitudinal driver :

  • It is a parametric longitudinal speed tracking controller for generating normalized acceleration and braking commands based on reference and feedback velocities.

6) Drive cycle:

  • it generate a standard or user - specified longitdinal drive cycle .
  • The block output is vehicle longitudinal speed .
  • we can import drive cycle in following ways :
  1. predefined sourse
  2. workspace variable

7 ) Battery sub system :

  • Battery subsystem is created to find SOC .

OUTPUTS :'

1 )

  • The above graph shows the SOC of the battery.
  • In this condition battery is fully discharge .
  • It will cover less distance than drive cycle.
  • It also shows the output of current .

2)

  • The above graph shows the velocity of drive cycle and velocity of vehicle.
