1. Battery Pack
The battery pack in an electric vehicle (EV) is a key component that stores energy and provides
power to the electric motor. It typically consists of multiple battery cells that are connected together
to form a single unit. The pack is typically made up of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which have
a high energy density and can store a large amount of energy in a relatively small and lightweight
package. The battery pack is also responsible for providing power to other systems in the vehicle,
such as lights and entertainment systems. The performance and range of an EV are directly related
to the capacity of its battery pack.
The battery pack is also responsible for providing power to the electric motor, which drives the
wheels of the vehicle. The battery management system (BMS) in an EV is responsible for

monitoring and managing the battery cells to ensure that they are functioning correctly and
preventing damage. The BMS also regulates the charging and discharging of the battery cells, to
ensure that the battery operates within a safe and optimal range.
The battery pack is typically the most expensive component of an EV, and the cost of the battery
has been one of the main challenges facing the widespread adoption of EVs. However, with
advances in battery technology, the cost of batteries has been decreasing, making EVs more
affordable and accessible.
In terms of charging, BEVs can be charged using either a Level 1 (110V), Level 2 (220V), or Level
3 (fast-charging) station. Level 2 charging provides faster charging times compared to Level 1,
while Level 3 charging can provide an 80% charge in 30-60 minutes.
Overall, the battery is a critical component of an EV, and it is important to choose a battery that
meets the needs of the vehicle and its intended use.
2. Motorand Inverter
The electric motor and power inverter are two crucial components in an electric vehicle (EV). The
electric motor converts electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to drive the
wheels of the vehicle. The power inverter is responsible for controlling the flow of electrical energy
from the battery to the motor, and vice versa during regenerative braking.
The electric motor used in an EV is typically an AC induction motor or a Permanent Magnet
Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The type of motor used depends on the specific requirements of the
vehicle and the desired performance characteristics.
3. ChargingPort
The charging port of an electric vehicle (EV) is the interface between the vehicle and the charging
station. It is where the vehicle is connected to the charging station to receive electrical energy,
which is used to charge the battery.
4. On-board Charger
The on-board charger of an electric vehicle (EV) is a component that is responsible for converting
the alternating current (AC) electrical energy received from the charging station into direct current
(DC) electrical energy, which is used to charge the battery.
The on-board charger is located inside the vehicle, and it is connected to the charging port, which
is used to connect the vehicle to the charging station.

5. Control Unit
The control unit of an electric vehicle (EV) is a central component that manages and coordinates
the various systems in the vehicle. It is responsible for controlling the performance, efficiency,
and safety of the vehicle.
The control unit includes a central processor, memory, and a number of sensors and inputs that
monitor the vehicle’s systems and environment. These include sensors for the battery, motor,
power inverter, charging system, and other critical components. The control unit uses the data from
these sensors to control the operation of the vehicle and ensure optimal performance.
Some of the key functions of the control unit in an EV include:
1. Power management: The control unit manages the flow of electrical energy between the
battery and the electric motor, and it ensures that the battery is charged and discharged
within safe and optimal limits.
2. Performance optimization: The control unit optimizes the performance of the vehicle by
controlling the speed and torque of the electric motor, and by adjusting the energy flow to
the motor based on the vehicle’s load and conditions.
3. Safety: The control unit monitors the vehicle’s systems and environment to ensure that the
vehicle is operating within safe and reliable limits, and it can take corrective actions if
necessary to prevent damage or malfunctions.
4. Driver assistance: The control unit can provide driver assistance features, such as cruise
control, traction control, and stability control, to improve the driving experience and safety
of the vehicle.
6. ElectricDriveTrain
An electric drive train is a critical component in an electric vehicle (EV). It refers to the system
responsible for delivering power from the vehicle’s battery to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to
move.
The electric drive train in an EV typically consists of several components:
 Battery Pack: This is the heart of the electric drive train, storing energy in the form
of chemical energy and providing it to the drive motor as direct current (DC) power.
 Electric Motor: The electric motor is an AC or DC machine that converts the electrical
energy from the battery into mechanical energy, driving the wheels of the vehicle.
 Power Inverter: A power inverter is an electronic device that converts DC power from
the battery into AC power for the electric motor.
 Drive Unit or Transmission: This component transmits the power from the motor to the
wheels, providing the necessary gear ratios and mechanical advantage to control the speed
and torque of the vehicle.

 Electronic Control Unit (ECU): The ECU is responsible for controlling the different
components of the drive train, ensuring that they work together efficiently and safely.
The electric drive train provides several benefits over traditional internal combustion engines,
including better fuel efficiency, instant torque, and reduced emissions. With advances in
battery technology and electric motors, the range and performance of EVs are continually
improving, making them increasingly popular as a clean and efficient mode of transportation.
7. PowerManagementSystem
The power management system (PMS) in an electric vehicle (EV) is a critical component
responsible for controlling and optimizing the energy flow between the vehicle’s battery and its
electrical components, such as the drive motor, climate control system, and lights.
The main functions of the PMS include:
 Battery Management: The PMS monitors the state of the battery and manages its charge
level to ensure that it operates within a safe and efficient range.
 Charging Control: The PMS manages the charging process for the vehicle’s battery,
ensuring that it is charged safely and efficiently.
 Energy Optimization: The PMS optimizes the energy flow between the vehicle’s battery
and its electrical components, ensuring that the battery has enough energy to power the
vehicle while also maximizing its range.
 Thermal Management: The PMS monitors and manages the temperature of the battery,
ensuring that it operates within safe temperature ranges to avoid damage and reduce
degradation.
 Vehicle Power Management: The PMS controls the distribution of power to the various
electrical components of the vehicle, such as the drive motor, lights, and climate control
system, to ensure that they operate efficiently and effectively.
Types of electric vehicles:
There are four types of electric vehicles available:
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV): Fully powered by electricity. These are more efficient compared
to hybrid and plug-in hybrids. BEVs are also known as All-Electric Vehicles (AEV). Electric
Vehicles using BEV technology run entirely on a battery-powered electric drivetrain. The
electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery pack which can be charged by
plugging into the electricity grid. The charged battery pack then provides power to one or more
electric motors to run the electric car. To find out more about BEVs, click below.
Main Components of BEV:
Electric motor, Inverter, Battery, Control Module, Drive train

Working Principles of BEV:
The power for the electric motor is converted from the DC Battery to AC. As the accelerator is
pressed, a signal is sent to the controller. The controller adjusts the speed of the vehicle by
changing the frequency of the AC power from the inverter to the motor. The motor then connects
and leads to the turning of wheels through a cog. If the brakes are pressed, or the electric car is
decelerating, the motor becomes an alternator and produces power, which is sent back to the
battery
Examples of BEV:
MG ZS, TATA Nexon, TATA Tigor, Mahindra E20 plus, Hyundai Kona, Mahindra Verito
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV):
HEVs are also known as series hybrid or parallel hybrid. HEVs have both engine and electric
motor. The engine gets energy from fuel, and the motor gets electricity from batteries. The
transmission is rotated simultaneously by both engine and electric motor. This then drives the
wheels. To find out more about HEVs, click below.
Main Components of HEV:
Engine, Electric motor, Battery pack with controller & inverter, Fuel tank, Control module
Working Principles of HEV:
The fuel tank supplies energy to the engine like a regular car. The batteries run on an electric
motor. Both the engine and electric motor can turn the transmission at the same time.
Examples of HEV:
Engine, Electric motor, Battery pack with controller & inverter, Fuel tank, Control module

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV):
The PHEVs are also known as series hybrids. They have both engine and a motor. You can choose
among the fuels, conventional fuel (such as petrol) or alternative fuel (such as bio-diesel). It can
also be powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery can be charged externally. To find
out more about PHEVs, click below.
PHEVs can run in at least 2 modes:
 All-electric Mode, in which the motor and battery provide all the car’s energy
 Hybrid Mode, in which both electricity and petrol/diesel are employed
Main Components of PHEV:
Electric motor, Engine, Inverter, Battery, Fuel tank, Control module, Battery Charger (if onboard
model)
Working Principles of PHEV:
PHEVs start-up in all-electric mode and make use of electricity until their battery pack is depleted.
Once the battery gets drained, the engine takes over, and the vehicle operates as a conventional,
non-plug-in hybrid. PHEVs can be charged by plugging into an outside electric power source,
engine, or regenerative braking. When brakes are applied, the electric motor acts as a generator,
using the energy to charge the battery. The engine’s power is supplemented by the electric motor;
as a result, smaller engines can be used, increasing the car’s fuel efficiency without compromising
performance.

Examples of PHEV:
Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, BMW 330e, Porsche Panamera S E-hybrid, Chevy Volt, Chrysler
Pacifica, Ford C-Max Energi, Mercedes C350e, Mercedes S550e, Mercedes GLE550e, Mini
Cooper SE Countryman, Ford Fusion Energi, Audi A3 E-Tron, BMW i8, BMW X5 xdrive40e,
Fiat 500e, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Volvo XC90 T8.
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle(FCEV):
FCEVs are also known as Zero-Emission Vehicles. They employ ‘fuel cell technology’ to generate
the electricity required to run the vehicle. The chemical energy of the fuel is converted directly
into electric energy. To find out more about FCEVs, click below.
Main Components of FCEV:
Electric motor, Fuel-cell stack, Hydrogen storage tank, battery with converter and controller
Working Principles of FCEV:
The FCEV generates the electricity required to run this vehicle on the vehicle itself.
Examples of FCEV:
Toyota Mirai, Riversimple Rasa, Hyundai Tucson FCEV, Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, Hyundai Nexo.

Fundamentals and types of Batteries
Batteries are an essential component of electric vehicles (EVs) as they provide the energy required
to power the vehicle's electric motor. A battery is an electrochemical device that converts chemical
energy into electrical energy, and there are several different types of batteries that are used in
electric vehicles, including:
1. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries: These are the most common type of batteries used in electric
vehicles due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rate.
2. Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries: These batteries have been used in electric vehicles in
the past, but are now less common due to their lower energy density and shorter cycle life
compared to Li-ion batteries.
3. Lead-acid batteries: These batteries are relatively cheap and have been used in some low-speed
electric vehicles, but they have a low energy density and a short cycle life compared to Li-ion
batteries.
Design parameters for an electric vehicle battery system involve several factors, including the
required range of the vehicle, the power required to drive the vehicle, and the weight and size of
the battery pack. The following are some key design parameters:
1. Energy density: The energy density of the battery pack is the amount of energy that can be stored
per unit volume or weight. The higher the energy density, the lighter and more compact the battery
pack can be for a given range.
2. Range: The range of the electric vehicle is determined by the energy stored in the battery pack
and the energy required to drive the vehicle. The range can be calculated by dividing the energy
stored in the battery pack by the energy required to drive the vehicle per unit distance.
3. Power density: The power density of the battery pack is the amount of power that can be delivered
per unit volume or weight. The higher the power density, the faster the vehicle can accelerate and
the more power it can deliver during high-load conditions.
4. Battery capacity: The capacity of the battery pack is the amount of energy it can store, and it is
usually measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The battery capacity required for a given range can be
calculated by dividing the energy required to drive the vehicle per unit distance by the efficiency
of the vehicle.
5. Battery weight: The weight of the battery pack is an important factor as it affects the overall
weight of the vehicle, which in turn affects its performance and range. The weight of the battery
pack can be calculated by multiplying the battery capacity by the energy density of the battery.
6. Cycle life: Cycle life is the number of charge and discharge cycles a battery can undergo before
its capacity starts to degrade. A battery with a longer cycle life will last longer and require fewer
replacements over the lifetime of the vehicle.
7. Charge time: Charge time is the amount of time it takes to recharge the battery. A battery with a
shorter charge time can be more convenient for users, especially for long-distance driving.
8. Cost: The cost of the battery is an important factor in the overall cost of the EV. The cost of the
battery depends on its energy and power density, cycle life, and other factors.

9. Safety: Battery safety is an important consideration to prevent fires and explosions. Batteries with
a higher safety rating are less likely to fail or catch fire, making them a better choice for EVs.
10. Temperature range: Batteries can perform differently at different temperatures, and extreme
temperatures can damage the battery. Therefore, the battery should be able to operate within a
temperature range that is suitable for the environment in which the EV will be used.
11. The self-discharge rate of a battery refers to the rate at which the battery loses its stored charge
over time, even when it is not being used. This happens because of the chemical reactions that take
place within the battery, which can gradually discharge the battery's energy. The self-discharge
rate can vary depending on the type of battery and its age. Generally, rechargeable batteries such
as nickel-cadmium (NiCad), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), and lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have
a higher self-discharge rate than non-rechargeable batteries like alkaline batteries.
Overall, the design of an electric vehicle battery system involves a trade-off between range, power,
weight, and cost. Manufacturers of electric vehicles must carefully balance these factors to provide
a battery system that meets the needs of their customers while remaining economically viable.

THEORY: A three-phase inverter is used to change the DC voltage to three-phase AC supply.
The circuit diagram of a three-phase inverter is shown below. The main function of this kind of
inverter is to change the input of DC to the output of three-phase AC. A basic 3 phase inverter
includes 3 single phase inverter switches where each switch can be connected to one of the 3 load
terminals.
Three Phase Inverter Circuit
Generally, the three arms of this inverter will be delayed with 120 degrees angle to generate a
3 -phase AC supply. The switches used in the inverter have 50% of ratio and switching can be
occurred after every 60 degrees angle. The switches like S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 will
complement each other. In this, three inverters with single-phase are placed across a similar DC
source. The pole voltages within the three-phase inverter are equivalent to the pole voltages within
the half-bridge inverter with a single phase.’ The two types of inverters like the single-phase and
three-phase include two conduction modes like 180 degrees conduction mode and 120 degrees
conduction mode.

The converter functions as a boost converter when it is discharging and as a buck converter when
it is charging. The closed-loop PI controller controls the bi-directional converter.
The buck converter's mode-I functioning is seen in Fig. 2. In this state, S1 is turned ON, S2 is
turned OFF, and both diodes are turned off (battery charging mode).

get charge and load will be supplied from the source.

Experiment-7
Aim: Modeling and Simulation of BMS for passive cell balancing in EV using
MATLAB/SIMULINK.
THEORY: Cell balancing is a technique that improves battery life by maximizing the capacity
of a battery pack with multiple cells in series, ensuring that all of its energy is available for use. A
cell balancer or regulator is a functionality in a battery management system that performs cell
balancing often found in lithium-ion battery packs electric vehicles and ESS applications.
Typically, individual cells of a battery pack have different capacities and are at different SOC
levels. Without redistribution, discharging must stop when the cell with the lowest capacity is
empty, even though the other cells are still not empty. This limits the energy delivering capability
of the battery pack.
A passive system potentially burns off excess energy from the high cells through a resistive
element until the charge matches the lower energy cells in the pack. If you have cells packed in
series and you notice that some of the cells have higher energy than the other lower energy cells,
you can balance the cells in burning energy of the top cells simply by attaching a resistor to the
cells which releases the energy into heat thereby equalizing the cell energy of the battery pack.

Aim: SoC control of Lithium Ion battery in MATLAB/SIMULINK for EV.
THEORY:
The state of charge (SOC) is a measurement of the amount of energy available in a battery at a
specific point in time expressed as a percentage. For example, the SOC reading for a computer
might read 95% full or 10% full. The SOC provides the user with information of how much longer
the battery can perform before it needs to be charged or replaced. Understanding the state
of charge is important because understanding the remaining capacity of a batter can help make a
control strategy.

Experiment-9
Aim: Simulation of bidirectional operation in Electric Vehicle charger using single-phase model.
THEORY: A bidirectional converter is the primary requirement for an EV charger with advanced
charging modes like V2G. The commonly used building modules of such a Bidirectional charger
comprises an AC/DC converter at the front end and DC/DC converter at the back end both
bidirectional and a DC link capacitor in between. The topology of the AC/DC and DC/DC
bidirectional converter used varies according to the purpose of converter design. In thisexperiment,
we try to study a simple topology related to H bridge AC/DC converter and a Bidirectional non
isolated buck-boost converter interface. The related control strategy is also presented. The AC/DC
converter works as a sine PWM Inverter during V2G mode; and as a synchronous rectifier during
G2V/Charging mode. The passive elements are designed for efficient converter operation during
both V2G and G2V modes. A MATLAB/SIMULINK model has been constructed.
Plug in Electric vehicles can be seen as loads as well as energy sources connected to the grid. The
load presented by PEV varies according to their charging behaviour, charging parameters and
patterns. There are two different modes of operation namely V2G and G2V. During Grid to
Vehicle operation (G2V) the vehicles act like normal loads while V2G is where energy is fed back
to grid. Another mode of V2G is called V2H where the stored energy in vehicle batteries is used
similar to home UPS systems.

Experiment-10
Aim: Modeling and Simulation to calculate electric vehicle speed from motor torque.
THEORY: The total tractive force acting on a EV can be represented as below:
Ftrac = Faero + Fgrad + Facc + Froll
Rolling Resistance
Tire rolling resistance is the energy that your vehicle needs to send to your tires to maintain
movement at a consistent speed over a surface. In other words, it is the effort required to keep a
tire rolling.
Froll = force due to rolling resistance = urr * m * g
where,
urr= Rolling resistance co-efficient (It depends on the tire material, tire structure, tire
temperature, road roughness, road material etc.)
m= Total mass of the vehicle( Vehicle mass+ payload)
g = gravitational constant , that is 9.8 m/s^2
Aerodynamic Drag Force
Aerodynamic drag force is defined as the force which is faced by the vehicle as it moves through
the air. This drag force depends mainly on the front area of the vehicle, side mirrors, ducts, and
many other factors.
Faero = aerodynamic drag force = 0.5 * ρ * V^2 * A * Cd
where,
ρ = Air density, that is normally 1.25 kg/m^3.
A = Frontal area of the vehicle in m^2
Cd = Air drag co-efficient of the vehicle (It depends on frontal area, shape, protrusions, ducts, air
passage etc.)
V = Velocity of the vehicle in m/s
Gradient force:
When the vehicle travels uphill, a component of its weight works in a direction opposite to its
motion. If some energy is not supplied to overcome this backward force, then the vehicle would
slow down, stall and roll backwards.

Fgrad = force due to gradient = m * g * sinφ
where,
m = Total mass of the vehicle(vehicle mass + payload) in kg
g = Gravitational constant that is 9.8 m/s^2
φ = up gradient angle or inclination angle in radian In this case up gradient angle(φ) = 0, as there
is no inclination.
Acceleration force:
The acceleration force refers to the vehicle's resistance to speed variations. This force holds you
back when you increase your speed and also moves you forward when you slow down.
Facc = acceleration force = m * a
Where,
m = Total mass of the vehicle(vehicle mass + payload) in kg
a = vehicle acceleration in m/s^2
Torque & force relation
Torque, T = Ftrac * r
Where,
Ftrac = total tractive force
r = tyre radius

Experiment-11
Aim: Speed control of electric vehicle using BLDC or PMSM in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
THEORY:
BLDC motor works on the principle similar to that of a Brushed DC motor. The Lorentz force law,
which states that whenever a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field it, experiences
a force. Because of reaction force, the magnet will experience an equal and opposite force. It uses
an electronic controller to switch DC currents to the motor windings producing magnetic fields
which effectively rotate in space and which the permanent magnet rotor follows. The controller
adjusts the phase and amplitude of the DC current pulses to control the speed and torque of the
motor.

 Hall Sensors detect magnetic fields, and can be used to sense rotor angle.
 The output is a digital 1 or 0 for each sensor, depending on the magnetic field nearby.
