Simulation and Control of an Electric Vehicle by Using PSO and Specify Driving Route Topology

This paper presents modeling and simulation for a pure electric vehicle with the propulsion chain. The PEV be composed of two electric motors to propulsion the vehicle rear wheels, voltage source inverter, a control system which controls both of motors speed and the electronic differential controller (EDC). Two synchronous reluctance motors represent the propulsion system to the EV. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used to specify the optimal parameters of the cascade controllers to control the electric motors. The specify driving route topology has designed and used to test vehicle validity under three different operation conditions. The vehicle system has simulated and tested in the Matlab/Simulink environment.
