Series Motor Four Quadrants DC Chopper For DC Drive Electric Vehicle Driving Cycle Test

Abstract

The most common need for electric car is to be able to carry a maximum load of 850-1300 kg. The expected maximum speed of the electric vehicle (EC) is about at 110-120 km/h and the acceleration is for 60Km/h in less than 10 seconds. To determine whether the DC Drive EV performance is up to a standard requirement for the end user’s such as maximum speed, cruising speed, acceleration, deceleration, stability, safety, etc., an EV’s full design must go through some sort of testing. This study examined the use of a series motor and a four-quadrant DC chopper (FQDC) for typical driving cycle tests like the New European Driving Cycle to test these special requirements of a DC drive electric automobile (NEDC). Using Matlab/Simulink software and vehicle dynamics equations, a simulation model of the DC Drive EV is created in order to examine and investigate the performance under the NEDC test applied to the FQDC in order to make sure that it complies with the NEDC requirements. From the test findings, it can be inferred that the FQDC is capable of meeting all NEDC standards.
