Electric Vehicle Powertrain Sizing and Optimization for Student Competitions
Overview
In this webinar, we will provide an overview of some of the new and advanced electric vehicle powertrain solutions for student competitions. We will start the session with an introduction to the Simscape Battery to design battery systems. Further, we will build a simple electric powertrain using Simscape Electrical and Simscape Fluids to select electric motors. Finally, we will provide an overview of the Powertrain Blockset that can be used for tradeoff analysis and component sizing, control parameter optimisation, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
Highlights
- Battery modeling and BMS
- Formula Student electric vehicle simulation
