Optimising the Energy Efficiency of Electric Vehicles with Simulink and Simscape

Andrew Curtis, Polestar
Victoria Rothwell, Polestar

Polestar is committed to accelerating the change to a fully electric, climate-neutral future. We are passionate about design and cutting-edge technology, and simulation is a crucial tool in developing the next generation of our electric vehicles.

Electric vehicle design presents a new challenge for modelling and simulation. Optimising a vehicle's energy management requires understanding the interactions between complex mechanical and electrical systems and their control software. Polestar has risen to this challenge by developing a flexible and modular simulation platform using Simulink® and Simscape™ products.

Discover how Polestar models the performance and energy consumption of the vehicle mechanics, propulsion system, thermal management, cabin comfort, and control software.
