Abstract

This paper describes the development of a model of an electric vehicle (EV) with a battery-powered inverter-controlled induction machine drive system. The computer simulation program “QEVS” is used to estimate the energy and power requirements of vehicles over standard driving cycles under various driving conditions. The battery performance, factors affecting range and energy use, and EV performance characteristics are presented. A maximum efficiency control strategy for the induction machine is proposed to optimize EV performance
