Simulink modelling and analyses project

Need a mechanical engineer to simulate and model on simulink an EV or HEV. Simulations are expected to achieve improvement/s in the system (or sub-systems’) performance.

URGENT: Required before 18th May.

Goal
The goal is to design and simulate EITHER an electric vehicle (EV) OR a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). You would design a vehicle that would be used in a city/urban environment. Hence, you are expected to design an energy efficient vehicle that would go at least 200 km without recharging the battery (in case of a EV) or 120 km in battery only mode (in case of a HEV).

TASKS
1. Develop a modular design of the vehicle, showing the overall system, all sub-systems and their connections. Include all important functional blocks of the vehicle in your design. You may decide to include components that you fine essential for simulating the vehicle. Hence, your vehicle design will reflect on your understanding of the vehicular technology and vehicle performance. Present your design in the form of a block diagram. Explain and discuss your design.
2. Develop specifications for each functional module included in your vehicle design considering important factors that affect performance of each functional module. For example, for battery/ies, you must find the battery size, weight, cost, voltage, SOC and DoD etc. To understand this point, consider a 400 V, 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that has an internal impedance of approximately 0.5. The vehicle system would require a traction inverter to convert DC energy from the high-voltage battery to the three-phase AC energy used to drive the traction motor. Traction inverters are typically capable of transferring power in 20 - 100 kW range, and switch voltages in 200 V - 800 V range with currents of hundreds of amperes. The motor and inverter in this example have a combined efficiency of 90% and rated output is given as 125 kW. Also, the rated current is 347A on the DC side of the inverter. At this current, the battery will drop 173.5 V internally. In other words, the battery terminal voltage will only have 226 V at 347 A. This will result in a battery output
power of 78 kW instead of 125 kW and the loss inside the battery will amount to 60.8 kW. Please note these numbers are fictitious. You will need to refer to the actual datasheets of the selected battery pack and inverter for reporting your findings.
This example demonstrates the level of details you are expected to consider for each subsystem and the overall vehicular system. Provide detailed specifications of each module or sub-system.
3. In order to simulate the vehicle in Simulink. You will need to understand the physical laws, equations, and formulae for each functional module (sub-system). Your simulation should be based on these laws and formulae. Include all equations and formulae in your report.
4. Explain and discuss the energy efficiency features of the vehicle design. You may discuss factors like vehicle configuration, selection of drive and transmission systems and their components, body geometry and weight etc.
5. Simulate your design using either Matlab or Simulink.
6. Analyse and reflect on the energy performance of your vehicle.
7. Suggest measures for improving the vehicle energy performance. For example, you may propose a new configuration, find better and more efficient components, or adjust the vehicle geometry.
8. Incorporate the above suggestions and simulate your vehicle again. Report the most relevant output parameters that helped in improving the energy efficiency of your vehicle.
9. Compare your results and discuss the outcomes of steps 7 and 8 in terms of vehicle energy efficiency.
