A novel MTPA theory based bottom-up approach towards parametric and structural design of interior PMSM for electric vehicles

Abstract

Summary Understanding the merits of using an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) for propulsion in all‐electric vehicles and challenges in conventional electric machine design approach, this paper proposes a novel model based design approach for three‐phase IPMSMs. Firstly, a novel bottom‐up IPMSM design methodology involving closed‐form analytical equations and per unitization approach based on maximum‐torque‐per‐ampere control theory is proposed. Using this approach, preliminary parametric and structural design of the machine with (1) a desired constant torque region; (2) desired reluctance torque percentage; (3) a specific constant power region; and (4) optimal angle of the stator current vector can be obtained. Thereafter, the proposed model based design approach has been verified through finite element analysis conducted on the electromagnetic model of a downscaled electric vehicle (EV) motor designed. Finally, the designed machine has been prototyped and experimentally tested for designed parameters and output performance with maximum‐torque‐per‐ampere and vector control strategies.

The electric propulsion system as a green solution for management strategy ofCO2emission in ocean shipping: A comprehensive review

“…This clean process seems to be a very important factor for propulsion. There are many types of fuel cell propulsion, such as PEM (Photon‐Exchange‐Membrane), also known as photon and Molten‐Carbonate membrane fuel cells or molten carbonate fuel cells 37 . Solvay Industrial Group (Belgium) has recently successfully created the world's largest fuel cell through a chemical reaction with oxygen.…”

“…For detecting the rotor position estimation, shaft encoders are organized on the main shaft of the tested machine. During a preliminary execution, all the data sets have been transferred in the real‐time workspace to a simulated MATLAB graphical user platform 25 …”

Updated PSO optimised fuzzy‐PI controlled buck type multi‐phase inverter‐based PMSM drive with an over‐current protection scheme

“…For the implementation of a PMSM motor in a light‐weight EV, it requires the speed to be varying in nature so that the user should have proper command on the speed. Furthermore, an attempt is made to design and implement a constant‐frequency digital PWM controller that can sense the input current to the motor and controls it within a predefined maximum limit of the current [13, 14]. Finally, this proposed PWM operated inverter circuitry establishes an effective overcurrent protection scheme for such safety and reliable operation in a PMSM machine.…”
