Simulation of waste heat reuse system of electric car using Arduino and Matlab = Mô phỏng hệ thống tái sử dụng nhiệt thải của ô tô điện bằng Arduino và Matlab

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) produce significant waste heat during battery operation. To improve energy efficiency and passenger comfort, this study proposes a waste heat reuse (WHR) system. A simulation-based model is developed using Matlab to evaluate cabin heating performance. Furthermore, an experimental setup with Arduino-based hardware is implemented to validate the concept. Results indicate that the proposed system effectively reuses waste heat, reduces external heating demand, and maintains passenger comfort within acceptable thermal ranges.
