A novel 7-level reduced-switch MLI topology fed PMSM drive for electric vehicle system
No full textThe compact and efficient design motivates the renewable energy-powered permanent magnet synchronous motor drive for electric vehicle applications. The available renewable energy is interfaced with a power drive by employing an electronic commutator such as a conventional 3-level inverter. But, the multilevel inverter produces favorable merits by producing staircase output voltage from several input direct current (DC) sources. The cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter plays a significant role in many applications, but it was developed only for limited voltage levels. The major problem in cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter (CHBMLI) requires more switching devices for higher voltage levels, which increases the size, cost and space of the electric vehicle (EV). To overcome above-mentioned problems, a new objective has been developed by employing the novel Reduced-switch multilevel inverter topology for higher voltage levels. This improves the voltage quality and reducing the harmonic level, and common-mode voltage issues. The main contribution of this work is, developing the novel 5-level, 7-level reduced-switch multilevel inverter (RSMLI) topologies with reduced switching devices with favourable merits over CHBMLI topology. Finally, the performance of proposed novel 5-level and 7-level RSMLI topologies fed PMSM drive for EV system has been verified, by using MATLAB/Simulink computing tool, and simulation results are presented with comparisons
A novel SIMIDCBC topology driven PMSM for PEV application
No full textNowadays, the usage of renewable energy based electric vehicles is increased for reducing CO2 emissions, usage of fossil fuels, energy saving, and transportation cost. As a result, it becomes the most significantly run with combined energy sources and it is good choice which minimizes the energy consumption from charging stations. The available renewable energy is integrated to power-train through power-electronic interface; such interface consists of three-phase inverter with DC-DC boost converter. The combined energy sources like solar-PV/battery are integrated to power-train by employing multi-input non-isolated step-up DC-DC converter for providing continuous power to drive the vehicle. The multi-terminal topologies have efficient, reliable performance, continuous input current, high step-up gain over the conventional DC-DC converters. In this work, a unique framework of combined energy powered switched-inductor based multi-input DC boost converter topology has been proposed to drive the PMSM. The performance of proposed SIMIDCBC topology driven PMSM for PEV application under constant and variable speed conditions are verified by using MATLAB/Simulink tool, simulation results are presented
