Abstract

Interior rotor axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor (IRAFSM) sensorless control is essential to inject the motor inside the electric vehicles’ tire. The proposed straight-line guided by the reference speed (SLGBRS) sensorless space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverter-direct torque control (DTC) technique for driving the IRAFSM used for electric vehicles (EVs) is evaluated using laboratory emulator setup. A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) controller and data acquisition are used as a real-time emulation, while the results are compared with MATLAB simulation results. Both simulation and real-time application of the proposed sensorless control for the IRAFSM offer a good speed response. The results of real-time evaluation are identical with the simulation results so, the control is accurate and suitable for practical applications. Urban dynamometer driving cycle (UDDS) for heavy-duty vehicles is used as a driving cycle for simulation and real time evaluation. UDDS is used to ensure the reliability of the proposed control against a wide range of speed changes to be applicable for many applications. The proposed technique allows utilizing the IRAFSM in many applications that requires less contact and reduced sensors like robotics and inside EV’s tire with a good reliable control.

Abstract

The inverter's simplicity is an important aspect that must be considered especially for electronic devices, as adding the number of power switches increases the complexity and overall cost of the inverter. This work proposes an inverter design that converts DC into AC power. It receives 12 VDC as an input voltage, and it is composed of a boost converter that converts an input voltage of 5-20 VDC to an output voltage of 4-30 VDC and a pulse width modulation controller to produce a square wave with a frequency of 100 kHz to drive the switching MOSFET. The designed inverter can be operated on different loads ranging from 50 Ω to 1000 Ω, tested in both simulations and experimentally. The design was optimized by the LT Spice simulator. The proposed inverter has operating frequencies ranging from 40 kHz to 110 kHz, taking into account different loads. The obtained results showed that both simulation and experimental results converged, whereas the highest efficiency was 96.96% at 55 kHz at a fixed load of 100 Ω. On the other hand, the maximum achieved efficiency when the load was sweeping was 80% at a load of 50 Ω at a fixed frequency of 100 kHz.
