Design and Analysis of Electric Vehicle Powertrain Using BLDC Motor Under FTP-75 Drive Cycle

  • Unique Paper ID: 186302
  • PageNo: 783-788
  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the modelling, simulation, and performance analysis of an Electric Vehicle (EV) powertrain employing a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor under the FTP-75 drive cycle. The proposed system integrates a Li-ion battery, three-phase inverter, BLDC motor, and longitudinal vehicle dynamics modelled in MATLAB/Simulink. The FTP-75 drive cycle serves as a reference input to evaluate real-world driving behaviour, focusing on acceleration, braking, and cruising conditions. A Proportional–Integral (PI) controller regulates the vehicle speed to ensure accurate tracking and dynamic stability. Simulation results demonstrate effective speed regulation, realistic torque and current responses, and stable vehicle operation. The study highlights the significance of accurate parameter selection and control tuning for realistic EV behaviour, offering a strong foundation for future integration of regenerative braking and advanced control strategies.
