Various charging methods can be used to extend the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. Different charging methods were applied to groups of smartphones programmed to charge and discharge in patterns similar to a typical use case of the smartphone, simulating conventional battery use. The capacity of these batteries were periodically measured, allowing for comparison in degradation between charging methods. Partial charge limiting was found to have a slight benefit in reducing battery degradation, but was vastly outperformed by full charge limiting.","PeriodicalId":339989,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference & Expo (ITEC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134090778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interior permanent magnet machines typically use high-strength rare-earth magnets to contribute high torque density. However, the rare-earth magnets have several challenges over the past few years. Both academia and industry have paid much more attention to develop an alternative to reduce or eliminate the use of rare-earth magnets. Ferrite magnets do not include any type of rare-earth materials. The combination of spoke-type rotor design and ferrite magnets provides a solution to eliminate rare-earth magnets since the air-gap flux density can be improved by the flux concentrated effect of the spoke-type design. On the other hand, high reliability is also an important requirement for the next-generation traction drive of electric vehicles. This paper will provide the design, analysis, and performance comparison of a six-phase non-rare earth spoke interior permanent magnet traction motor with concentrated windings configuration.","PeriodicalId":339989,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference & Expo (ITEC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133495370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is particularly important since machine parameters, such as stator resistance and inductances, can deviate when operated at higher temperatures. Furthermore, the VR-FW loop exhibit a varying static gain that must be accounted for when operating the machine in deep FW region. Simulation results demonstrates a superior and robust drive performance in deep FW region when compared to adaptive FW control based on machine parameters.","PeriodicalId":339989,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference & Expo (ITEC)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132103085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with DWC, some unforeseen challenges have risen. These include identifying the optimum locations of those DWCs with the objective of maximizing the system efficiency while minimizing the system cost by minimizing the required lengths of charging lanes.
