Modeling of Full Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Full Electrical  Vehicles (FEVs) and  Hybrid Electrical  Vehicles (HEVs) are vehicles  with  many electric  components compared to  conventional ones.    In  fact  the  power train  consists  of electrical  machines, power  electronics and  electric  energy storage system   (battery, super capacitors) connected to  mechanical components (transmissions, gear  boxes  and  wheels) and,  for  HEV,  to  an  Internal Combustion Engine  (ICE).   The  approach for  a new  vehicle design has  to  be  multidisciplinary in  order  to  take  into  account the  dynamic interaction among all the  components of the  vehicle  and  the  power train  itself.  The vehicle  designers in order  to find  the  correct  sizing  of components, the  best  energy control  strategy and  to…
