The objective of this project is to build a simple current controlled modulation technique for brushless dc motors. In electric traction and most other applications, a wide range of speed and torque control of the electric motor is required. The dc machine fulfills these requirements, but the dc machine requires constant maintenance. But the brushless permanent magnet motors do not have brushes...

Robotics and automation engrosses designing and implementation of prodigious machines which has the potential to do work too tedious, too precise, and too dangerous for human to perform. It also pushes the boundary on the level of intelligence and competence for many forms of autonomous, semiautonomous and tele-operated machines. Intelligent machines have assorted applications in medicine, defe...

Electric motors use 60% of the electrical energy generated in the U.S. An improvement of 1% in all electric motors’ operating efficiency could result in reduced coal combustion of 6.5 to 10 million tons* per year. New techniques are required to extract the ultimate performance from modern motors. This study examined the feasibility of Fuzzy Logic Motor Control (FLMC). The investigation included...

In this paper, different electric motors are studied and compared to see the benefits of each motor and the one that is more suitable to be used in the electric vehicle (EV) applications. There are five main electric motor types, DC, induction, permanent magnet synchronous, switched reluctance and brushless DC motors are studied. It is concluded that although the induction motors technology is ...

This paper reviews motor techniques for reducing the cost of electric vehicles (EVs) and improving their range. In recent years, environmental issues, energy crises greenhouse effect have urged popularization clean EVs. order to achieve this goal, it is necessary overcome technical difficulties in vehicle As a key component an EV, occupies large proportion overall cost, its efficiency directly ...

Automotive Industry is targeting sustainable transportation in near future. Therefore hybrid and electric vehicles are going to be popular due to their sustainability, energy saving and zero emission. Electric motors play significant role in EV’s. In-wheel motor technology is being used in modern electric vehicles to improve efficiency, safety and controllability of vehicle nowadays. BLDC motor...
