MODELLING AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE USING MATLAB

The usage of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has proportionally increased in the recent years due to the positive impacts of the EVs. These positive impacts include their usage their non-dependency on the depleting reserves of the conventional fuels and their environmental friendly emissions as compared to the air pollution caused by the usage of the conventional vehicles .Due to the recent develop-mends of the electrical sources such as Super Capacitors (SCs), Fuel Cells (FCs) and the advancements in the conventional battery systems, the performance of the EVs has reached new heights. Due to their independency from the increasing fuel prices of the conventional fuels and their non-emission of air pollutant characteristics the modeling and control of the EVs has received a major focus in the recent years. The modeling of the EV presents many challenges as it is the combination of the many complex sub systems such as battery management systems, electrical motors and the power electronics interfaces. .in this paper, we developed an EV with driving cycles. The developed model contains a battery source, DC motor, vehicle body, longitudinal driver, tire, simple gear box, driving cycle. simulation was performed using FTP75 drive cycle with time 1874 seconds and wide-open throttle (WOT) with time 60 seconds and we obtain the speed comparison curve and the state of charge of battery after simulation time
