As previously reported [1-3], ArcelorMittal has a specific electrical steel product line for core laminations, which optimises the performance for automotive traction electrical machines. This iCARe® product family consists of Save grades allowing fo...
The mass production of electric vehicles can pressure some specific natural resources that are needed for the production of the motors utilized in such vehicles. In those lines an alternative to the use of rare-earth magnets in the propulsion system...
Axial flux (AF) motors and generators have been used in niche automotive applications for many years. Given their disk like shape they offer distinct advantages for integration into hybrid powertrains where available length is limited. An overview of...
Abnormal electromagnetic noise of traction motor in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) occurred after the endurance test is experimentally investigated. Theoretical model explains that the abnormal components, which are ±1 orders of the number of slots, c...
This paper presents a new optimization method to design a rotor structure for a permanent magnet motor that can reduce vibration. The optimization problem is formulated with a multi-objective function to minimize the fluctuation of the radial magneti...
Inverters for electric vehicle motor drive systems are essential in converting the battery's direct current into alternating current. Si(Silicon) IGBT that is commonly used in inverter modules have large Vce,sat and turn-off time due to p+ drain and...
The novel Stator Cage Drive marks a paradigm shift in electrical machine design by substituting layers of windings with stator bars that are short-circuited on one end of the machine. Those bars are individually fed from the opposite end of the machi...
This paper proposes a control method robust against the rotor temperature variation for the induction machine used in the xEV traction application. The rotor resistance (or time constant) of the induction machine varies with the rotor temperature so...
Since 2011 the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is using an in-house developed battery electric vehicle based on a Volkswagen Lupo 3L for educational and research projects. The TU/e Lupo Electric Lightweight (EL) is able to recuperate kineti...
The integrated longitudinal and lateral dynamic motion control is important for four wheel independent drive (4WID) electric vehicles. Under critical driving conditions, direct yaw moment control (DYC) has been proved as effective for vehicle handlin...
