Abstract
This study focuses on simulating and analyzing the performance of a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) using MATLAB Simscape. The primary objective is to evaluate key performance parameters such as power consumption, battery performance, runtime, and temperature characteristics under different driving scenarios. The Simscape tool enables a detailed virtual modeling of the electric drive train, battery system, and vehicle dynamics. Various test scenarios, including different road profiles and driving cycles, are simulated to assess the impact of factors like regenerative braking, vehicle load, and ambient temperature on overall vehicle efficiency. Additionally, thermal management strategies for the battery system are evaluated to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The results provide insights into improving vehicle range, energy efficiency, and battery durability. This simulation-based analysis supports the optimization of BEV design, helping engineers make informed decisions about system architecture and performance enhancements.
