Modelling of power electronic converters used in electric vehicles

摘要

The traction system of an electric vehicle must be highly energynefficient; to obtain an acceptable operating range from the limitednenergy stored in the battery. In the search for an energy optimisedndesign, simulation plays an essential role in determining the energynrequirements of a particular vehicle, in the estimation of thenpower-train loss and performance, and in assessing the implications of anparticular choice of component or control method. In this paper, ansimulation method for the power electronic convertors used in electricnvehicles is described
