Traction Motor and Inverter for Two-Wheeler Applications

Abstract

The targets to design a Traction Inverter module for 2-wheeler electric vehicle_x000D_ with certain specifications. In this, first the appropriate motor was selected for the application and then inverter module. After motor selection, proper algorithm or control technique was selected to significantly improve the performance and the efficiency of the vehicle. Along with the selection of algorithm, commutation logic was developed to control the on-off cycle of MOSFETS, and the load profile/Indian driving cycle profile was loaded into the system to validate the performance at some standard level._x000D_ After the development of the circuit for Trapezoidal control method and FOC control method, all the necessary data was provided as input to the system and outcome of both the methods were compared._x000D_ The final outcome of FOC is notably better than that of Trapezoidal control method and in FOC, the torque profile was smooth which is a significant parameter of performance.
