Modeling and Simulation of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
Tools that can model embedded software as well as components, and can automate the details of electric and hybrid vehicle design, need to be developed.

ABSTRACT
| This paper discusses the need for modeling and
simulation of electric and hybrid vehicles. Different modeling methods such as physics-based Resistive Companion Form technique and Bond Graph method are presented with powertrain component and system modeling examples. The modeling and simulation capabilities of existing tools such as Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT), ADvanced VehIcle SimulatOR (ADVISOR), PSIM, and Virtual Test Bed are demonstrated through application examples. Since power electronics is indispensable in hybrid vehicles, the issue of numerical oscillations in dynamic simulations involving power electronics is briefly addressed. KEYWORDS

I. INTRODUCTION
Compared to conventional vehicles, there are more electrical components used in electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles, such as electric machines, power electronics, electronic continuously variable transmissions (CVT), and embedded powertrain controllers [1], [2]. Advanced energy storage devices and energy converters, such as Liion batteries, ultracapacitors, and fuel cells, are introduced in the next generation powertrains. In addition to these electrification components or subsystems, conventional
