Battery Electric Vehicle with Motor Cooling in Simscape

Battery electric vehicle with liquid-cooled motor.

This example models a battery electric vehicle with a cooling system for the motor. It is used to size mechanical, electrical, and fluid components in the vehicle. The vehicle executes a passing maneuver and the speed, torque, and temperature measurements are used to assess if the system requirements are met.

The motor cooling system can be optionally disconnected from the system. This allows us to see the impact of the cooling system on motor temperature.

This video, "Getting Started with Simscape" explains the purpose of the model and introduces you to modeling with Simscape:
