Energy Efficient Speed Control using IBEV Model in an EV Testbed Platform

Several speed controls for an electric vehicle (EV) system were designed. The EV system was modelled as an integrated battery electric vehicle (IBEV) model with the battery dynamics clearly belonging to the model. The integrated model was tested on a testbed platform with the speed controllers to find out which one achieves the highest energy efficiency. To get precise measurement results from the sensor, the experiment was done twice. From the results, the energy consumption for each controller was calculated with a number of energy formulations. The speed controllers that were tested in this study can be developed further based on the performance index in order to achieve more energy efficiency.
