During the periodInternship, I was trained and assigned projects on1. Powertrain Modeling & simulation of following drive cycles:a. Ather 450b. Nissan Leafc. Formula Race Car2. Li-ion cell Modeling & Simulation3. BMS Modeling & Simulation.The program covered training of MATLAB R2020a and Scilab-6.0.2 Softwares, simulation in both of them, along with deep knowledge of Electric Vehicles and powertrain. We performed simulations for the above-mentioned drive cycles for different conditions. Along with the above projects we had also covered basic programming skills, Thermal Model of House and Modeling of the spring-mass damper system under practice sessions in Scilab-6.0.2 software.
