“…A multi-domain simulation offers a detailed look into the vehicle dynamics over a steady state simulation, such as load transients and the switching effects of the bidirectional converter and inverter. For example, MATLAB [5], PSIM [6], PROTEUS [7] and LABVIEW [8] are well equipped with built-in detailed electrical equivalent modules and offer easy-to-use graphical user interfaces at the cost of long simulation times and a lack of insight into the model. Program-based tools such as SIMPLEV [9], ADVISOR [10] and V-ELPH [11] were developed for the selection of components and their efficiency under different operating conditions as well as drive cycles through system-level modeling.…”

A Unified Switched Nonlinear Dynamic Model of an Electric Vehicle for Performance Evaluation

et al. 2023

The advanced modeling and estimation of overall system dynamics play a vital role in electric vehicles (EVs), as the selection of components in the powertrain and prediction of performance are the key market qualifiers. The state-space averaged model and small-signal transfer function model are useful for assessing long-term behavior in system-level analysis and for designing the controller parameters, respectively. Both models take less computation time but ignore the high-frequency switching dynamics. Therefore, these two models could be impractical for the development and testing of EV prototypes. On the other hand, the multi-domain model in available simulation tools gives in-depth information about the short-term behavior and loss analysis of power electronic devices in each subsystem, considering the switching dynamics in a long computation time. In this paper, a general mathematical framework for the dynamical analysis of complete EVs is presented using a unified, switched nonlinear model. This equation-based model runs faster than the available module-based simulation tools. Two other models, namely the time domain state-space averaged model and frequency domain small-signal transfer function model, are also developed from the switched nonlinear model for the analysis with less computation time. The design and performance of an EV with two different motors and its controllers are evaluated using the general mathematical framework.

“…The main objective is to design axial flux SRM e-motor to reduce volume and weight ratio using high saturation flux material, by selecting stator and rotor optimal geometric parameters 21,22 .

The growth of Electric Vehicles (EV) moving towards to go green in the world. The high cost of EVs mainly depends on an electric motor. The Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) speed-torque characteristics are perfectly suited for EV drive. Compared to other poly-phase machines, the SRM has high performance, magnet less, fault-tolerant, and high durability. The design has been carried out on electric vehicle grade modelling with different super core materials. This paper proposes the rating of 3kW, 3500rpm, and 8/6 topology by selecting stator and rotor optimal geometric parameters to design an efficient SRM configuration. The design step analyses the flux distribution uniform materials to analyze the performance of flux density, power, torque density, losses, efficiency, and torque ripple analysis. The finite element analysis is comparatively selected to improve the accuracy of material simulation for EV-SRM using Ansys Maxwell software to optimize the design for weight reduction, changing induction to reduce the acoustic noise.

“…The authors of [23] analyzed the mathematical model of a mobile robot with wheels called Tractor-Trailer, analyzing the longitudinal and lateral sliding of the tires, in addition to the proposal of robust dynamic control based on a sliding mode algorithm to solve the problem in MATLAB/Simulink-CarSim and implement a real-time laboratory platform for an electric vehicle. The authors of [24] modeled a light electric vehicle using PSIM to improve student skills on the powertrain. Nevertheless, most of them assume that the mathematical understanding of the model has been acquired and focus only on the analysis, modeling, and design of controllers without considering the need to generate experience in the design and testing of a physical controller.…”

A Low-Cost Platform for Modeling and Controlling the Yaw Dynamics of an Agricultural Tractor to Gain Autonomy

et al. 2020

In this study, a low-cost proposed platform for training dynamics (PPTD) is proposed based on operational amplifiers to understand the dynamics and variables of the agricultural tractor John Deere tractor model 4430 to gain autonomy and analyze the behavior of control algorithms proposed in real time by state feedback. The proposed platform uses commercial sensors and interacts with the Arduino Uno and/or Daq-6009 board from National Instruments. A mobile application (APP) was also developed for real-time monitoring of autonomous control signals, the local reference system, and physical and dynamic variables in the tractor; this platform can be used as a mobile alternative applied to a tractor in physically installed form. In the presented case, the PPTD was mounted on a John Deere tractor to test its behavior; moreover, it may be used on other tractor models similarly as established here. The established results of this platform were compared with models established in MATLAB, validating the proposal. All simulations and developments are shared through a web-link as open-source files so that anyone with basic knowledge of electronics and modeling of vehicles can reproduce the proposed platform.
