Abstract: In recent years, owing to the severity of global warming and deduction in petroleum resources quicken the researches to move on sustainable energy resources. Thereby E-mobility has been picturized and fully electric vehicle technology is the major research area nowadays. This paper presents the design methodology of electric traction motor requirement by considering vehicle dynamics and passenger car parameters. Pertaining to the vehicle desired performance, the maximum optimal power is computed. Followed by that power, torque Vs speed profile is determined and the same is compared with the urban and extra-urban drive cycle to estimate the average power and torque. Then the Interior PMSM 2D Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis is planned to carry out with the geometries obtained from analytical calculations for two different slot-pole combinations. The performance differences such as torque Vs speed profile, No-load Back EMF and torque ripple are investigated.
Keywords: Drive cycle analysis, Electric vehicles, FEM analysis, Interior PMSM machines, NEDC drive cycle, Power train design, Slot-Pole combinations, Traction motor and Vehicle dynamics.
Scope of the Article: Collaborative Applications.
