Figure 2
The image is a horizontal block diagram divided into three large blue-outlined sections labeled “Battery”, “Motor”, and “Vehicle”. In the Battery section, a rectangular block labeled “Battery Power” connects through a small intermediary block labeled “0” and then through a green-framed connector to a red line that carries power to the Motor section. The Motor section contains a large block with the text “Torque Demand”, “Motor Power”, “Motor Speed”, and “Motor Torque”. This block receives power from the Battery via a green-framed connector and outputs “Motor Torque” through another green-framed connector along a red line to the Vehicle section. In the Vehicle section, a large block labeled with “Torque Input”, “Shaft Speed”, and “Vehicle Speed” receives torque from the Motor and returns “Shaft Speed” back toward the Motor block. Arrows on the lines indicate the direction of power and speed signals between subsystems.The two way connection strategy as utilized in an EV architecture. Source: Authors’ own work). The two-way connection block (green) connects through a single connection (red) the EV components (blue)
