Enhancing Performance and Efficiency of Electric Vehicles through Simulation

Overview

Designing electric vehicles for optimal range and performance involves a thorough understanding of vehicle dynamics and powertrain systems. Virtual testing plays a crucial role in achieving a robust design and ensuring operational safety. By employing virtual vehicle simulations, you can gain valuable insights into real-world behavior, explore various what-if scenarios, and verify the functionality of embedded software. This approach allows for accelerated variant assessment, safe exploration of edge case scenarios, and overall improvement in product quality.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how MathWorks products can facilitate these design processes for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers. We will specifically address the following topics:

• Performance Analysis: This includes component sizing and selection, optimizing acceleration from 0-60 kph, and maximizing range.
• Controller Development and Testing: We will cover the development of ABS algorithms, testing of regenerative braking systems, and the functionality of the Vehicle Control Unit and Battery Management System.
