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...

Performance Improvement of Direct Torque Controlled Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives Using Artificial Intelligence

The main theme of this paper is to present novel controller, which is a genetic based fuzzy Logic controller, for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drives with direct torque control. A radial basis function network has been used for online tuning of the genetic based fuzzy logic controller.

A Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Traction Applications of Electric Vehicles

This paper presents the design of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) for traction applications of electric vehicles (EVs). The design is based on the stator geometry of an existing commercial available induction traction motor. The rotor configurations considered in this study are the surface mounted magnet (SPM) and the inset permanent magnet (IPM) types. Both designs are investigated...

Loss Minimization Control of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Electric Vehicles

Abstract This paper aims to improve efficiency in interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) drives for electric vehicles. The controllable electrical loss which consists of the copper loss and the iron loss can be minimized by the optimal control of the armature current vector. The control algorithm of current vector minimizing the electrical loss is proposed and the optimal current ve...
