A comparative analysis of two separate motor topologies, namely, dual stator embedded-pole six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor and single stator single rotor surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor, is accomplished to illustrate the performance superiority of the proposed motor. Furthermore, for optimal designing of the proposed motor, a design methodology has also been presented. For the above application, the motor should retain high torque density (HTD) and high reliability. In this regard, a novel H-Shaped flux barrier is introduced in the rotor portion, which fulfils the requirement of HTD. Moreover, the availability of two sets of the stator winding enhances the performance efficiency and ensures the proposed motor's more significant fault-tolerating ability of the motor. For performance evaluation, the Finite Element Method analysis is chosen, as it gives appropriate and precise results. From the above analysis, it is concluded that the HTD and the proposed motor's dynamic performance are better than the above-mentioned conventional motor.</p>","PeriodicalId":48518,"journal":{"name":"IET Electrical Systems in Transportation","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/els2.12063","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45307308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pillay Engineering College, Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, India (10°48.2′N, 79°50.1′E). The statistics related to the solar radiations of the Nagapattinam region are employed to find out the energy availability for the EV charging station (EVCS) and the requirement for grid connection. The authors use a hybrid optimisation model for an electric renewable (HOMER) simulator to determine the optimum specification of the proposed EVCS. Also, the authors carry out a techno-economic study against the specified load requirement to evaluate the potential of the charging station. The solar irradiance data obtained from NASA ground climatology and the solar power dataset of the designated site are used to realise the precise fallouts. The optimisation results provide minimum annual system cost and reliable power to the EVs. Based on these results, an EVCS is erected in the college campus to charge plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The established EVCS contains 3 kW EV charger operating as a microgrid and includes nine solar panels with 335 W each, 48 V, 150 Ah specification. The authors use solar photovoltaic (PV) panels using Copper Indium Selenide-Zinc sulfide (CISZS) quantum dots for maximising energy yield from the EVCS. The authors consider that eight different charging profiles for different months are employed for estimating the solar irradiance probability density in the designated site.
