Electric Vehicle Components and Charging Technologies : Design, Modeling, Simulation and Control

In order to create a reliable, safe and cost-effective electric vehicle with acceptable range, battery charging time, battery life and driving performance, it is important to design optimised and compatible components and charging systems.

This book offers an overview of the design, modeling, simulation and control of electric vehicle components and charging technologies. Chapters address the fundamentals of electric vehicles and the essentials of their power electronics components, discuss the principles of design, modeling, simulation and control, and then apply those principles to electric machines, drives and battery management systems. Where relevant, MATLAB/Simulink models are included. Further topics include fault tolerant operation, wired and wireless charging systems, power quality control, and grid integration. Current regulations and standards are also addressed.

Electric Vehicle Components and Charging Technologies: Design, modeling, simulation and control is intended to be suitable for newcomers to the field, though it assumes an engineering background. The discussions of emerging concepts, methods and realisation are also intended to be thought-provoking for more established researchers, engineers and industry professionals.
