This paper deals with sensor fault detection within a reconfigurable direct torque control of an induction motor-based electric vehicle. The proposed strategy concerns current, voltage, and speed sensors faults that are detected and followed by post faulttolerant control to allow the vehicle continuous operation. The proposed approach is validated through experiments on an induction motor drive...

In recent years, environmental and energy problem has become one of the world's hot spot problems. Today, the road cars not only consume a lot of oil resource, but also cause serious pollution to human survival environment. Therefore, to save energy and protect environment, a green environmental friendly electric car instead of fuel car will be needed for sustainable development of the society....

Recharging a plug-in electric vehicle is more time-consuming than refueling an internal combustion engine vehicle. As a result, charging stations may face serious congestion problems during peak traffic hours in the near future with the rapid growth of plug-in electric vehicle population. Considering that drivers' time costs are usually expensive, charging congestion will be a dominant factor t...

In this work the effect of weight reduction using advanced lightweight materials on the mass, energy use, and cost of conventional and battery electric passenger vehicles is compared. Analytic vehicle simulation is coupled with cost assessment to find the optimal degree of weight reduction minimizing manufacturing and total costs. The results show a strong secondary weight and cost saving poten...

The importance of pure electric vehicles is increasing in the automotive industry, and vehicle controller a critical component that plays vital role monitoring, controlling, ensuring safety, distributing energy throughout entire vehicle, thereby affecting its economy, reliability. This paper presents design development various module functions, circuit hardware design, working principles for ve...

Dynamic behavior analysis of electric motors is required in order to accurately evaluate the performance, energy consumption and pollution level of hybrid electric vehicles. Simulation tools for hybrid electric vehicles are divided into steady state and dynamic models. Tools with steady-state models are useful for system-level analysis whereas tools that utilize dynamic models give in-depth inf...
