Hybrid Electric Vehicle Analysis and Wireless Battery Charging

In this paper, a diagram that depicts a mild parallel hybrid electric vehicle is used to simulate the energy usage and efficiency. MATLAB and Simulink were used for the simulation. All aspects of this vehicle are governed by the law of conservation of energy. The system uses a drive schedule of a driver within an urban setting. Many aspects were taken into account such as the vehicle speed, battery state of charge, and tractive power needed to propel the vehicle. This simulation helps us understand how a hybrid electric vehicle operates and may give some insight on how to improve the design of such vehicles. Related work can also be used to further improve the bigger picture. Wireless charging and automated control of large scale charging can improve the transfer of energy from sources to homes and charge stations.
