Electric Vehicle Simulation

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the simulation of EVs, leveraging tools like MATLAB/Simulink and its add ons, and other industry-standard platforms. Students will gain hands-on experience in simulating key EV components, including the powertrain, battery, and vehicle dynamics, while learning how these systems interact to achieve optimal performance. The course also explores topics such as energy management, efficiency analysis, and advanced control strategies.

NB! This course will take place in spring semester 2025/2026 which starts on 2nd of February and ends on 15th of June (you can find that information under start date section). TalTech's timetables for spring semester 2026 will be published at the beginning of January via tunniplaan.taltech.ee.

After completing this course, the student:

• applies the principles and recognises the importance of simulation and modeling for EVs;
• develops dynamic models for EV components, such as motors, batteries, and powertrains;
• uses MATLAB/Simulink proficiently for system-level EV simulations;
• applies simulation tools to optimize energy management and control strategies;
• integrates multiple EV subsystems into a comprehensive simulation model and evaluates their performance;
• appreciates the benefits of virtual testing in terms of cost, time efficiency, and design flexibility.

Final assessment can consist of one test/assignment or several smaller assignments completed during the whole course. After declaring a course the student can re-sit the exam/assessment once. Assessment can be graded or non-graded. For specific information about the assessment process please get in touch with the contact person of this course. For specific information about grade transfer please contact your home university
