Investigation on electric vehicle motor challenges, solutions and control strategies

AbstractThis research paper tells about the different types of defects faced by the motors used in electric vehicle such as cost of the motor and it also discusses about the solutions to reduce the problems. In recent years the sharp rise in greenhouse gas emissions have forced the population to move towards electric vehicle. This target can only be achieved by removing the drawbacks such as cost and mileage of electric vehicle. Electric motors play a huge role in electric vehicle and motors that are used in EVs are quite costly and efficiency of the motor affects the mileage of electric vehicle. In this context, this paper tells about the defects or challenges of the motors in the vehicle. Mainly three motors are used in electric vehicle such as induction motor, switched reluctance motor and permanent magnet synchronous motor. This research paper discusses different solutions, and control strategies of EV motors in order to achieve the low cost and better responses as motor plays a huge part in electric vehicle and also the future scope of these motor is forecasted. Above investigation of control strategies is carried out by MATLAB/Simulink Software.
