A hands-on workshop on Motor Design and Simulation for Electric Vehicle (EV) Applications was conducted for second-year Electrical Engineering students. The workshop provided practical exposure to MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape tools for designing, modeling, and simulating electric motors used in EVs, including DC motors, BLDC motors, and PMSMs. It emphasized practical skills and enabled students to visualize motor characteristics, perform parameter analysis, and understand motor behavior under various operating conditions relevant to EV applications.
- Objectives
- Introduce students to the MATLAB/Simulink environment for motor simulation.
- Design and simulate DC, BLDC, and PMSM motors for EV applications.
- Understand motor performance parameters like speed, torque, current, and efficiency.
- Provide hands-on experience analyzing motor behavior under different load conditions.
- Enhance students’ understanding of EV propulsion systems.
