Electric Vehicle Consumption Test with Road Trace Correction via the Power/Energy Profile

The measurement of the traction energy based on the live test of the electric vehicle consumption, as for example the compliance with the requirements of SORT and E-SORT, is hard and depends on the specifics of local testing conditions. One of the main factors for successful test is the proper choice of the road trace. In case of longer trace like SORT 3, the conformity to the requirements is hard to be achieved if the trace should be appropriate for shorter tests also. The paper describes a typical case of the trace unconformity correction using the electrical energy profile based on the recorded power profile.
