One of the most critical issues for the environment today is pollution generated by hydrocarbon combustion, which is one of the main sources of power for transportation. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and full electric vehicles (EV) are rapidly advancing as alternative power trains for green transportation. The vehicles’ electrification not only involves the traction parts, but it is also gener...

Hideki Miyazaki Tatsuyuki Yamamoto Hitoshi Kobayashi Atsushi Yokoyama OVERVIEW: Hitachi researches and develops control technologies and systems for electric vehicle motors that provide better energy effi ciency and safety. This has included using an EV test vehicle to demonstrate the use of the electric motor in traction control and antilock braking, utilizing the rapid changes in torque made ...

While creating an industrial system which has an electric motor, the designers should to be think over not only control method but also motor type to create successful and efficiency system. If created system is an electric vehicle, designers have two powerful candidates as traction motor: Brushless AC (BLAC) or Brushless DC (BLDC) motors. In this study, a comparative performance investigation ...

Induction motors are the most commonly used in the traction industries and electric vehicles, due to their low primary cost, low maintenance costs, and good performance. Speed identification is needed for the induction motor drives. However, using of speed sensors in the induction motor drives is associated with problems such as, extra cost, reduced reliability, added mounting space, etc.. Ther...

This paper presents the traction motor evaluation method depending on the electric transmission energy transfer characteristics and different source of supply, including motor manufactures, diesel turbine manufacturers, wheel side reducer manufacturers and electric drive system integrated manufacturers. 9 evaluations are proposed in 3 levels from the motor body and control performance, electric...
