Ebook: Modeling for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles Using Simscape

Simscape, a Matlab/Simulink toolbox for modeling physical systems, is the ideal platform for developing and deploying models for hybrid and electric vehicle systems and sub-systems. This book is step-by-step guide through the process of developing precise and accurate models for all critical areas of hybrid and electric vehicles.

For electric and hybrid technology to deliver superior performance and efficiency, all sub-systems have to work seamlessly and in unison every time and all the time. To ensure this level of precision and reliability, modeling and simulation play crucial roles during the design and development cycle of electric and hybrid vehicles.

The majority of books currently on the market discuss relevant technologies and the physics and engineering of hybrid and electric vehicles. This book is unique by focusing on developing models of physical systems at the core of these vehicles using the tool of choice, Simscape. Relevant background and appropriate theory are referenced and summarized in the context of model development with significantly more emphasis on the model development procedure and obtaining usable and accurate results.
