A Systematic Approach to Simulate a Fundamental Model of an Electric Vehicle in MATLAB Environment

Integration of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in modern power system is inevitable. The rapid growth in the sector has pushed the engineers and scientists to go deep in the field and develop more competitive and economical models. The understanding of fundamental mathematical proto-type with vehicle dynamics provides a basic building block to develop more efficient models. An effort has been made in this paper to demonstrate fundamental modelling of an EV in MATLAB environment. The demonstrated MATLAB model comprehensively provides understanding of an EV. It simulates key components such as the electric motor, battery and vehicle dynamics.
