Design of an Electric Vehicle and its Simulation

Abstract

The major elements, performance characteristics, and optimization strategies of an electric vehicle (EV) are highlighted in this thesis thorough design and simulation of the EV. The research includes the creation of a mathematical model, the usage of a simulink-based environment for the dynamic simulation of the vehicle, and the examination of the performance of the EV under different driving circumstances. To verify the model's efficacy and accuracy, simulated results are compared with data from the actual world. The goal of the study is to enhance the area of sustainable transportation by offering insightful information on the design and modelling of EVs. This diploma project's main goal is to build and model an electric car while taking into consideration the traditional difficulties associated with electromobility and electric automobiles. First, a thorough analysis of the literature was carried out, examining the development of electric mobility and the difficulties it has faced. After that, a complete physical study of a two-track vehicle was conducted, taking into account the kinematic and dynamic forces necessary for the vehicle's propulsion. We conducted an experiment with the KAIPAN 415 and collected relevant data from the actual system in order to compare the virtual and real models. In order to simulate and verify the system, we ultimately built a reliable mathematical model of the electric car.
