Thermal Impact on Powertrain Efficiency Improvement for Two Wheels Electric Vehicle

The energy required by a two wheels electric vehicle (TWEV) to complete a trip is lower than common electric cars or internal combustion vehicles. However, there are considerable losses along the electric driving chain. Those losses added to a limited energy storage cause an impact over the TWEV autonomy. This appears to be the main factor, which limits the large-scale market penetration of TWEV. This paper aims to analyze the multiphysic behavior of the complete power-chain in order to study its effect on its energetic losses. Even when many dynamics model oriented to hardware design approach can represent the come multiphysic behavior of one or two elements of the power train, the approach proposed in this paper presents a balanced representation of all power chain able to be used in real-time optimization. This study will help to improve the capabilities of an onboard TWEV efficiency estimator system which uses a longitudinal force model. As a conclusion, the error of autonomy estimation is compared with thermal considerations and without them according to different operating points.
