This paper presents a modeling and analysis of multi-phase inverter fed multi-phase induction motor drive with different number of phases. Multiphase induction motor drives possess several advantages over conventional three-phase drives such as lower torque pulsation, fault tolerance, stability, high efficiency and lower current ripple and reduced current per phase without increasing voltage pe...

This research aims to simulate structural steel 400 (SS400) material as an alternative for the electric bus's chassis structure. The kind of is low carbon steel. SS400 produced from one largest mills in Indonesia, considered a local material. used increase total domestic content cars Indonesia could be improved. Generally, reverse engineering method R260 ladder frame type vehicles. However, thi...

The stability control of two separate electric vehicle (EV) motors by using only single five-leg inverter (FLI) is the motivation of this study. This paper proposes an electric differential (ED) in a FLI to serve dual separate induction motor (IM) drive-based wheels of an EV traction drive system. FLI is developed to replace the two normal three-phase voltage source inverters that need to indep...

Changes of Japanese consumer preference for electric vehicles (EVs) with new EV commercialisation and subsidy implementation has been quantitatively evaluated by applying conjoint analysis to the respondents choice experiment data collected by internet questionnaire survey that have been conducted in February 2009 and 2010. Powertrains (battery electric vehicle (BEV), gasoline hybrid electric v...

We study how the electric vehicles (EVs) of today would perform in meeting the driving needs of vehicle owners, and propose an optimization model to find locations for charging stations needed to support EV usage. We take publicly available data from travel surveys that are person oriented and construct vehicle centric datasets. Chicago and Seattle metropolitan areas are selected as showcases f...

(eds.), Plug In Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids, Power Systems, DOI 10.1007/978-981-287-299-9_2 Abstract 100 year old gasoline engine technology vehicles have now become one of the major contributors of greenhouse gases. Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) have been proposed to achieve environmental friendly transportation. Eve...

There are many power electronic converters and motor drives connected together to form the electrical system of an Electric Vehicle. In this paper, we have presented a modeling tool that has the advantages of utilizing capabilities of the PMSM software in detailed simulations of converters, motor drives, and electric machines. In addition, equivalent electrical models of Electric Vehicle drive ...
