Modelling and Simulation of Induction Machine for Control of Energy Flows in Electric Vehicles

Abstract

In the present paper, a simulation model for the study of energy flows in an electric vehicle has been implemented and modeled. An induction motor was used to describe the vehicles propulsion system and a permanent magnet synchronous machine was used for simulation of an electric vehicle with included dynamics. A standard model of an asynchronous machine and the control system is used. The presented model is realized in MATLAB/Simulink. The main purpose of the present study is to examine and study the principle of operation of different types of electric vehicles manufactured with asynchronous machines such as Tesla and others. The data used for simulation are provided by various manufacturers. These studies are useful for determination of energy flowsand the required power for different electric vehicles. This evaluation can be used for determination of new methodology for optimal control and increasing of the energy efficiency in the electric vehicles. Also, this development would be useful for realizing a research bench with two different machines coupled.
