In this paper, a battery model for electric vehicle virtual platform was developed. A battery model consisted of a battery cell model and battery thermal management system. A battery cell model was developed based on Randles equivalent circuit model. Circuit parameters in the form of 3D map data was obtained by charge-discharge experiment of Li-Polymer battery in various temperature condition. The developed battery cell model was experimentally verified by comparing voltages. Thermal management system model was also developed using heat generator, heat transfer and convection model, and cooling fan. For verification of the developed battery model in vehicle level, the integrated battery model was applied in to EV(electric vehicle) virtual platform, and virtual driving simulation using UDDS velocity profile was conducted. The accuracy of the developed battery model has been verified by comparing the simulation results from EV platform with the experimental data.

In this paper, proposed a multi-channel charging control strategy for electric vehicle. This control strategy can adjust the charging power according to the calculated state-of-charge (SOC). Electric vehicle (EV) charging system using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed. A stochastic optimization algorithm technique such as PSO in the time-of-use (TOU) price used for the energy cost minimization. Simulation results show that the energy cost can be reduced using proposed method.

The biggest core task in the new modern automobile industry lies in the development of eco-friendly vehicles with the goal of 0% emissions by the EU by 2035. Accordingly, in an era where the industry is rapidly changing with electric vehicles, education and training on EV electric vehicles are urgently needed. In this study, by developing a core EV powertrain system simulator excluding the chassis platform (body, tire, etc.) used identically to existing internal combustion locomotives, Understand the EV powertrain system, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and electronic engineering applications. Through this course, we intend to use it as a medium to develop engineering and convergence development capabilities.

In this paper, the starting torque and efficiency characteristics of the induction motor (IM) for the electric vehicle (EV) are improved by changing the slot shapes of squirrel cage. The initial model of the induction motor is designed by the loading distribution method (LDM), and then the rotor with squirrel cage of NEMA class A is selected to optimize the slot shape by response surface method(RSM). The design variables of rotor slot shape are obtained by the RSM. Starting torque and efficiency were calculated by the equivalent circuit method. As a result, starting torque and efficiency of the optimized model shows good performance through whole-speed range.

This paper treats the optimization of rotor construction in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for electric vehicle (EV). While the field system of PMSM has generally one magnet per pole, we replace the magnet into plural sub-magnets. The dimensions of each sub-magnet are determined by the concept of pulse width modulation (PWM). By adopting the proposed rotor construction, we can not only reduce the space harmonics of the air-gap field but also provide space for rotor bars (i.e., damper windings) around the direct-axis. From the investigation by hybrid EE-BE (coupled finite element and boundary element) method coupled with both electric circuit and motion equation, we verify that the construction is effective for practical use.

In this paper, a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) employed in an electric vehicle (EV) is designed using the finite element method (FEM). The static torque of the SRM is estimated through magnetic field analysis. The SRM temperature rise over operation time is estimated through heat transfer analysis. First, static torque and temperature rise over the time of 600W SRM is included in the experiment set, and are compared with the calculated results using the FEM under the same conditions. The validity of the magnetic field analysis and heat transfer analysis is verified by the comparisons. In addition, a 60 [kW] SRM employed in an EV, whose output characteristics are equal to a 1500 [cc] gasoline engine, is designed under magnetic field analysis and heat transfer analysis.

This paper proposes a DC-DC converter that satisfies a wide output voltage of 150 V-1000 V for the battery voltage of various electric vehicles and can be controlled in both directions for the demand resource of electric vehicles. The proposed converter is a two-stage structure in which an insulated converter and a non-isolated converter are combined and operates as constant current or constant power depending on the voltage of the connected battery. Experimental results from a 20 kW prototype are provided to validate the proposed charger, and a maximum efficiency of 97% is obtained.

Recently, research on the smart grid that combines ICT(Information & Communication technology) to the power system has been actively progressed. If the occupancy of the EV(Electric vehicle) is increased. the V2G(Vehicle to grid) system is available which constitutes the micro-grid through battery of EV. V2G system performs load leveling and efficient energy consumption by battery operation considering load condition. But, if the battery is used only depending on the electricity rates, it doses not consider the life of the battery.

This paper proposes a parallel control method of a modular DC/DC converter for electric vehicle (EV) chargers. The EV chargers have been increasing the power capacity using modular converters. There are output current imbalances between the modules, which are caused by the difference of the impedance, delay of the gate driver, and error of the sensors. The conventional strategies for the equal distribution of the output current cause the voltage drop or the high volume and cost of the converters. Therefore, the proposed parallel control strategy effectively balances the output current of modules using a current compensation method. The proposed strategy is verified by simulations. Additional experimental results will be added under various conditions.
