Modeling and control of an electric vehicle combining bond graph and Energetic Macroscopic Representation

The present work addresses the modeling and control of an electric vehicle. The novelty is the utilization of both functional and structural approaches in the same simulation environment. On the one hand, it is deduced the Bond Graph model (structural approach) from the physical system, thus the system and its model present a direct correspondence. On the other hand, the control structure is easily deduced from the Energetic Macroscopic Representation (functional approach) of the vehicle using a systematic procedure. The Bond Graph model and its control are combined in the same simulation environment in order to analyze the behavior of the vehicle and its control. Simulation results illustrate the close loop control performance of the proposal.
