Study on interior permanent magnet synchronous motors for hybrid electric vehicle traction drive application considering permanent magnet type and temperature

Recently, interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (Interior-PMSMs) have become known as a good candidate for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) traction drive application due to their unique merits. However, the dynamic and steady-state behaviors of these motors are quite dependent on the permanent magnet (PM) type, configuration, and volume in rotor structures. This paper uses a novel structur...

Design of a Permanent-Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Machine for a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle

In this thesis, a permanent-magnet assisted synchronous reluctance machine (PMSynRel) design is presented for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle application. Apart from operating as a traction machine to propel the vehicle, the machine is also used when the vehicle’s battery is charged from the grid. This additional functionality puts restraints (that are discussed in the thesis) on the final ma...

Design of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine for the Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Permanent magnet synchronous machines are known as a good candidate for hybrid electric vehicles due to their unique merits. However they have two major drawbacks i.e. high cost and small speed range. In this paper an optimal design of a permanent magnet machine is presented. A reduction of permanent magnet material for a constant torque and an extension in speed and torque ranges are chosen as...

Optimal Design of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Electric Vehicle Applications Using GAand FEM

Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machines are attractive candidates for Electric Vehicles (EVs) applications due to their axial compact structure, high efficiency, high power and torque density. This paper presents general design characteristics of AFPM machines. Moreover, torque density of the machine which is selected as main objective function, is enhanced by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) a...
