Electric vehicle (EV) systems consist of components that interconnect in a coordinated manner. The HV battery, traction inverter, electric motor, and transmission system are the major components in an EV. Among these, the traction inverter and the electric machine together are known as the eDrive. The performance of the eDrive in EVs is crucial for several reasons. First, it directly impacts the acceleration and speed capabilities of the vehicle. A powerful and efficient eDrive system ensures that EVs can achieve adequate acceleration and maintain higher speeds, providing a more enjoyable driving experience for users. Second, the performance of the eDrive influences the overall range and efficiency of the EV. A well-designed eDrive system can maximize the energy utilization, enabling the vehicle to travel longer distances on a single charge.
This session presents a solution using MATLAB® and Simulink® to analyze the performance of the eDrive. The thermal (power module temperature and electric machine temperature), electrical (voltage and current), and mechanical (torque and speed) parameters are chosen to analyze the eDrive performance.
