Compare motors of Toyota Prius and synchronous reluctance for using in electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle

Abstract

This paper, Parameters of Toyota Prius and synchronous reluctance motors will be compared to each other for using in electric and hybrid vehicles. Parameters are some physical characteristics of two motors such as weight, cost of raw materials, including electrical and magnetic flux density, torque, power losses, efficiency output power and yield. Physical features of two motors can be calculated with different materials regard to the size and bulk density And to calculate the remaining cases has been used of transient finite element method. At the outset will be proved that the weight of the Prius engine is less than reluctance synchronous motor. However, due to the exist a permanent magnet in raw material structure of the Prius motor, the prices of this motor is higher than reluctance synchronous motor. Finally, according to the outputs magnetic of two motors will be proved that the synchronous reluctance motors has appropriate conditions to use in electric and hybrid vehicles is highest.
