Modeling and Simulation of Inverters for Electric Vehicle Application

Abstract

This work deal with modeling and simulation based case study for the electric vehicles inverters. Several type of the the inverters have been investigated in this study. Inverters are playing a key role in the fie4ld of electric vehicle applications. Due to the widespread use of vehicles that run on fossil fuels, the transportation sector is a big cause of climate change but also health problems. Countries around the world are trying to switch from vehicles that run on fossil fuels to electric cars (EVs) to cut down on pollution. EVs do have some practical problems, though. One is ”range anxiety,” which is caused by the lack of charging stations, the high cost of looooong EVs, and the short range of affordably priced EVs. One possible solution to the problem of range anxiety is to use range extenders [4], which allow EVs to drive farther while keeping costs and performance as low as possible. Through a range extender, this paper will try to simulate the model of a larger battery for an existing electric vehicle to turn it into a series hybrid vehicle. The main goal of the project is to keep the SOC of the rechargeable battery within a range that the user has already set. The advantages provided by the range extender are in terms of safety and comfort. The use of range extender if properly implemented in affordable EVs Fig. 1. Inverter classifications in published literature has the potential to make the vision of mass market EVs a reality.
