Vector Control Implementation in PMSM Motor Drive for Electric-Vehicle Application

Abstract

The primary goal of this paper is to evaluate vector control techniques in a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) for an electric-driven automotive application. In this study, mathematical modelling of PMSM and Electric Vehicle (EV) were used and employed. Field Oriented Control (FOC), Direct Torque Control (DTC) and Direct Torque Control with Space Vector Modulation (DTC SVM) are all heavily researched under vector control. Those control techniques are used for a PMSM motor drive using MATLAB/Simulink. To that purpose, MATLAB/Simulink simulations were utilised to examine and assess the control output of FOC, DTC, and DTC SVM control for 4W passenger section EV load from various perspectives.This study delves into the simplified design issues for motor selection and battery pack selection required to implement these control schemes using a surface-mounted non-salient sinusoidal flux distribution PMSM to determine which control method is to be preferred where and for what preferred accuracy.
