FEA based analysis and design of PMSM for electric vehicle applications using magnet software

Abstract

The automobile sector is one of the major consumers in India. Vehicles become the inevitable component in our day today life. It plays a vital role in peoples comfort. This growth of vehicles results in exponentially increasing pollution, which becomes a significant cause of environmental issues. Additionally, depletion of fuels and growth of its prices emerge a need to develop vehicles that would run without affecting the environment, i.e. with clean and sustainable energy sources. Electric vehicles (EVs), which run with the battery as a prime source, are a present trend in the automobile industry. This work presents the comparative analysis for 3 operating speeds of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) of 3 kW, 48 V for EV applications using magnet software and the performance is verified.
