In this paper, an electric vehicle drive with a robust and low cost alternating current (AC) induction motor is presented. This approach is applied to an existing commercial utility electric vehicle where previously used direct current (DC) series motor was replaced by the new AC induction motor. The use of three-phase squirrel cage induction motor requires implementing of voltage source invert...

This paper presents an electric drive system whose motor is connected to a battery by means of a buck DC/DC converter. This motor is further connected to an ultracapacitor by means of a boost DC/DC converter. First, operation and break processes are studied when the converters are switched off as well as when they are switched on in current limitation mode. Then, a comparative analysis of the r...

This paper presents a method to reduce the commutation torque ripple in a position sensorless brushless DC motor drive. To compensate the commutation torque ripple considerably, the duration of commutation must be known. The proposed method measures the duration of commutation from the terminal voltage of the motor, calculates a PWM duty ratio using the measured commutation interval to suppress...

To provide transmission-line voltage support, a static compensator (STATCOM) offers the optimal solution in terms of price, reliability, and dynamic performance. Simpler layout for switches, reduced component count and smaller dc-link capacitor values are the attractive features of the proposed topology over the diode clamped and cascaded multilevel converter. Two dc-link voltage sources with v...

For hybrid electric vehicles, the batteries and the drive dc link may be at different voltages. The batteries are at low voltage to obtain higher volumetric efficiencies, and the dc link is at higher voltage to have higher efficiency on the motor side. Therefore, a power interface between the batteries and the drive’s dc link is essential. This power interface should handle power flow from batt...
