Title: Fundamentals of Battery Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Machines and Drives
Speaker: K.T. Chau, University of Hong Kong
Description: With
ever-increasing concern for our environment, battery electric vehicles
(BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are becoming popular. While
electric vehicles (EVs) involve multidisciplinary technologies, one of their
key technologies is machines and drives. In this lecture, an overview of EV
machines and drives will be given.
Firstly, the definition
of various types of EVs as well as their key merits and shortcomings will be
presented. Then, the system configurations of BEVs and HEVs will be
introduced.
Secondly, the existing
motor drives for BEVs, including the DC motor, induction motor,
permanent-magnet (PM) synchronous motor and PM brushless DC motor, will
be discussed. Then, some emerging motor drives such as the stator-PM
motor, vernier PM motor and magnetless motor will be introduced.
Thirdly, the main
machine system for HEVs, namely the planetary-geared electronic
continuously variable transmission (ECVT), will be described. Meanwhile,
some emerging machine systems such as the double-rotor ECVT and
magnetic-geared ECVT will be introduced.
Finally, the
development trend of EV machines and drives will be revealed. |
