Control of Three-Phase Squirrel Cage Induction Motor by Field Acceleration Method (FAM) for E-Mobility

Abstract

The rapid electrification of mobility systems has fuelled the demand for advanced control techniques that can enhance the performance and efficiency of electric vehicles (EVs). In this context, this paper introduces the Field Acceleration Method (FAM) as a control strategy for three-phase squirrel cage induction motors, specifically tailored for e-mobility applications. FAM has not been previously simulated or tested practically in the context of electric mobility, making this study a pioneering effort. Induction motors are widely employed in electric vehicles, and various control methods such as the Indirect Field-Oriented Control (IFOC) gained popularity for its effectiveness in achieving precise and efficient motor control. In this research, FAM is simulated using MATLAB, and the results demonstrate its suitability for electric vehicle control applications. FAM exhibits the potential to achieve rapid speed responses, making it a promising alternative to established control techniques. The outcomes of this study highlight the applicability of FAM in improving the dynamic performance of EVs, contributing to the ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of electric mobility solutions. This research paves the way for practical implementations of FAM in electric vehicles, potentially revolutionizing the field of EV motor control.
