Electric and Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles: Advanced Simulation Methodologies

This book is designed as an interdisciplinary platform for specialists working in electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles powertrain design and development, and for scientists who want to get access to information related to electric and hybrid vehicle energy management, efficiency and control.\n\nThe book presents the methodology of simulation that allows the specialist to evaluate electric and hybrid vehicle powertrain energy flow, efficiency, range and consumption. The mathematics behind each electric and hybrid vehicle component is explained and for each specific vehicle the powertrain is analyzed and output results presented through the use of specific automotive industrial software (AVL Cruise ,?IPG Car Maker, AVL Concerto). This methodology of electric and hybrid powertrain design serves to broaden understanding of how the energy flow, efficiency, range and consumption of these vehicles can be adjusted, updated and predicted via development processes.Electric and Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles: Advanced Simulation Methodologies is written by Bogdan Ovidiu Varga; Florin Mariasiu; Dan Moldovanu; Calin Iclodean and published by Springer. ISBNs for Electric and Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles are 9783319186399, 3319186396 and the print ISBNs are 9783319186382, 3319186388.
