Traction Mode of an Electric Vehicle based on a Delta Inverter feeding a Split Stator Windings PMSM

Abstract

In this paper, a traction mode of an electric vehicle based on a delta inverter feeding a split stator windings permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is proposed. The use of reduced inverter topologies such as the delta inverter allows the cost-effectiveness and the compactness of the electric propulsion systems. The PMSM with split stator windings is adopted in the integrated battery charger of hybrid electric vehicles as a motor with reconfigured stator windings for all different modes: traction/charge operation. This paper develops the traction mode operation of these motor/inverter association under a vector control strategy. Simulation results of the proposed association under the dedicated strategy are registered.
