Traction System for Electric Vehicles Based on Synchronous Reluctance Permanent Magnet Machine

Electric vehicles (EVs) integrate two main power electronics systems, namely, the battery charging system and traction system. In this study, we aimed to complement deepen study of latter, more specifically, focusing on a based synchronous reluctance permanent magnet (SRPM) machine, since is an emerging electric machine in EV paradigm. The developed prototype integrates bidirectional ac-dc dc-dc converters, allowing for regenerative braking, SRPM controlled using maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) algorithm. Computer simulations experimental results are presented paper. dynamic characteristics proved be relevant applications, with effective obtained during load speed changes. behavior was partially rooted use MTPA algorithm, which has proven itself algorithm machines EVs.
