Electric Vehicle Modelling and Simulation of a Light Commercial Vehicle Using PMSM Propulsion

Even though the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) used in conventional vehicles is one of major causes global warming and air pollution, emission toxic gases also harmful to living organisms. Electric propulsion has been developed modern electric replace ICE.The aim this research use both Simulink Simscape toolboxes MATLAB model dynamics a light commercial vehicle powered by propulsion. This focuses on Volkswagen Crafter with diesel engine manufactured 2020. A rear-wheel driven powertrain based Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor was designed its front-wheel an urban environment at low average speeds.In research, Nissan Leaf battery nominal voltage 360 V capacity 24 kWh modelled serve as energy source drivetrain. The New European Driving Cycle evaluate Another test input such speed ramp under different road conditions. Proportional Integral controller applied control synchronous motor. Different driving cycles were vehicle. demonstrated good tracking capability each type test. In addition, determined that fuel economy approximately 19% better than vehicles.
