Ground Vehicle Team Starter Kit for Electrical Sub-Teams with Simcenter PSIM

TimI

Below you can find links to our resources for electrical sub-teams on Ground Vehicle / Automotive student teams:

Efficiency Mapping – Critical KPI for all "electrical" teams

• PSIM and Python (Option 1): Generating Efficiency Contour Maps for e-Drives Using PSIM and Python
• PSIM and HyperStudy (Option 2): Fast-Track eDrive Efficiency Maps Using PSIM and HyperStudy

Drive Cycles Simulation – Helps estimate energy needs to complete an event; directly supports battery sizing -> Faster-than-Real-Time EV Drive Cycle Simulations with PSIM-trained Fit Models | Part1 & Part2

Wide Open Throttle (WOT) Tests *not unique to PSIM* – Used to determine the vehicle’s maximum speed and acceleration -> EV Acceleration Performance at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) Using PSIM

Battery Optimization – A key design and cost factor in any EV project -> Optimizing Battery Performance in Formula Student EVs 

Inverter Cooling – Essential for all teams; combines electrical and mechanical design -> Better Thermal Power Converter simulations with PSIM & Thermal CFD 

Integration with Multi-Body Dynamics – An advanced (optional) topic for full system simulation -> Electric Motorcycle Simulation: How to couple Power Electronics with Multibody and Control systems
