High-Performance Computing for Electric Vehicle Performance Analysis and Simulation

Abstract

High Performance Computing (HPC) has established an important place in the performance analysis and simulation of electric vehicles. An enhanced study built on HPC answers to the high computational requirements of performance evaluation of electric vehicles, namely battery management, energy efficiency, and thermal dynamics. HPC, with parallel processing and improved algorithms, can intensively simulate powertrain systems, aerodynamics, and vehicle dynamics, keeping a stream of avenues to improve the design and functionality of electric vehicles. Further, it optimizes battery life and energy consumption as well as charging systems. This is useful for manufacturers and researchers to work toward enhancing the efficiency of EVs. The current chapter also deals with real-time simulations of HPC that allow prototyping, reduce development costs, and enable sustaining innovations in the electric vehicle business.
