Abstract
- This paper investigates a method to increase fuel economy of motors for an electric vehicle (EV) traction system. The low-torque region of an EV motor is frequently used in everyday urban driving and in fuel economy measurement. Pulsewidth modulation (PWM) carrier harmonic iron loss accounts for a high percentage of total loss for EV motors in this region. This paper reveals the relationship between phase current and carrier harmonic iron loss for a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in the low-torque region. Thus, a novel carrier harmonic loss reduction technique is proposed and applied to two sets of three-phase windings for a concentrated winding PMSM. The loss is successfully reduced in a 70-kW EV motor as well as a two-dimensional finite-element method (2-D-FEM) calculation. The efficiency of the developed motor is calculated and compared with that of a conventional motor in the JC08 mode driving cycle. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
