Operation Analysis of Electrical Vehicles considering Reostatic or Regenerative Braking

In this work, we propose the design and modeling of a lithium-ion battery system for an electric vehicle, evaluating its performance through simulations. The vehicle model is developed associated with a typical trajectory within the city of Cuenca to determine speed and power requirements. With this information and a detailed modeling of battery charging and discharging, their behavior is determined considering both conventional and regenerative braking. The indicators of State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH) are used for this study. Additionally, a series of tests are presented to obtain a precise analysis of the electric vehicle's range, considering charge and discharge cycles that can affect the battery's health and lifespan.
