Design and Simulation of the Power Transmission System of extended range electric Vehicle based on MATLAB/Simulink

Abstract

Abstract With the rapid growth of automobile ownership, energy shortage and exhaust pollution have become the two major problems restricting the development of automobiles. Electric vehicles with zero fuel consumption and pollution-free advantages are the future direction of development. But battery technology is not mature at this stage, and the driving distance of electric vehicles is short. Extended range electric vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle equipped with a range extender based on a pure electric vehicle. When the power is sufficient, the whole vehicle runs with pure electric power. When the power is insufficient, the range extender works to drive the vehicle. As a kind of electric vehicle that can extend driving range, the extended-range electric vehicle has great research significance at present. In this paper, based on MATLAB/Simulink platform, the simulation model of the vehicle power transmission system is built by using the experimental modeling method. According to the model, the dynamic performance simulation of the extended-range electric vehicle is carried out, and the rationality of parameter matching of the vehicle components is verified.
