As part of a research project at Fulda University of Applied Sciences (Germany), the energy efficiency of battery-electric commercial vehicles in real-world operation is being analysed. For this purpose, measurement data was collected from the driving operation of a battery-electric truck. The paper explains how measured data can be used to optimize the simulation of battery-electric commercial vehicles. The focus is on the generation and application of efficiency maps in order to more realistically represent the efficiencies of electrical components within the vehicle depending on relevant influencing parameters. The generated efficiency maps can also be used to estimate the energy flows of the subcomponents and their effect on the overall energy demand and on the range of the electric vehicle.

Evaluation of energy flow data in emobility applications to create efficiency maps for simulation setup and system optimisation

Simulation modeling tackles real life problems securely and feasibly. It gives an outstanding strategy for assessment which is effectively checked, passed on and acknowledged. In this paper, dynamic model of an electric vehicle is made with the help of MATLAB Simulink. The energy consumption estimation of the electric vehicle is resolved, compared to the drive cycles related. The impact of various drive cycles on the utilization of energy by vehicle and its consequences for other vehicle boundaries are discussed.
