Electric Vehicle Modelling using Matlab/Simulink
About the EV Modelling course:
The EV Modelling using Matlab/Simulink course will focus on building a good in-depth knowledge of mathematical modelling of electric drivetrain for a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).
We will start with an introduction to the Electric Vehicle, their types, and the various component we can find in an electric vehicle drivetrain. Going deeper into the topics, we will define each of the components such as motors, motor drive, power electronics, control system, electro-mechanical conversion as well as the various drive cycles.
Furthermore, we will also take a brief look into various motor drives control methods and compare few of them with respect to their performance. Moreover, we will also explore the modulation techniques used for power electronic converters. Before going further into the last part, it will investigate an equivalent circuit model (ECM) for a battery. All the description into the topics will be accompanied with their respective modelling in MATLAB/Simulink.
Lastly, all the Simulink blocks will be integrated together to form a working mathematical model of a BEV.
Learning Outcomes:
This EV modelling using Matlab/Simulink course will help you:
- Gain knowledge on electric drivetrain and its components, electric drive-train modelling in MATLAB/Simulink.
- Be able to model a mathematical drive-train model in MATLAB/Simulink with descriptive formulae for each component.
- Be able to model the drivetrain without taking help of the pre-defined SimPower System blocks in Simulink which will give them a more in-depth knowledge of what goes on inside the hood of these Simulink blocks. This type of modelling will give them more flexibility of designing drivetrain in the future.
- Make a flexible drivetrain model which can be modified and used for any electric drive train as they please.
Who Can Attend This Course ?
- Any student above the 2nd semester in their undergraduate degree in the field of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Electrical Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering will be benefit the most from this workshop.
- Students from any other stream of engineering who have a working knowledge of the electric vehicles are welcome to attend at their own discretion.
- Faculties or research scholars in the above-mentioned streams of engineering (1.) looking for some MATLAB/Simulink modelling knowledge for electric vehicles are most welcome to attend.
Few Disclaimers:
- It is advised to have a working knowledge of electromagnetism, Maxwell’s Laws, Power semiconductor devices and secondary batteries for this course.
- It is strongly advised to personally arrange the MATLAB/Simulink software for use during the course.
- Please note that this course will be heavily focused on the MATHEMATICAL modelling of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).
- Other form of simulation techniques like State-space models are beyond the scope of this course. Simulation of charging system or battery management system are beyond the scope of the course.
- All the models described in the course will be duly referred to their respective literature and using them for personal research are recommended with due citations.
- The workshop classes will be held on topics as discussed below on weekend. Four weekends with one class each on Saturday and Sunday.
- Student will be given small assignments – problem solving, or modelling based on the topics covered on that weekend. Students are expected to work on the tasks through out the week and update their profile on the weekend.
- Credit based system will evaluate the work.
- It is advisable to share your electric drive train work with us via e-mail in the form of a small journal style paper or an article. (Some exciting prizes on offer for the best article)
