4. Classification of EVs
EV's
BEV's
HEV's
PHEV's
• A battery electric vehicle (BEV), pure electric vehicle, only-electric vehicle or all-electric vehicle is a type of electric
vehicle (EV) that exclusively uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs, with no secondary source
of propulsion
• A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of vehicle that uses both an electric engine and a conventional
internal combustion engine. This type of vehicle is considered to have better performance and fuel economy
compared to a conventional one.
• A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a type of hybrid electric vehicle that combines a gasoline or
diesel engine with an electric motor and a large battery that can be recharged by plugging into an electrical
outlet or electric vehicle charging station in addition to on board genertor charging

on the type of transmission; the use of a clutch,
gearbox, differential, and fixed gear; and the

7. energy storage system
• 'Battery' The battery is an electrochemical device that stores energy in a chemical form and delivers electric energy .The battery technology
development has dramatically impacted the EV industry because batteries are used as an energy source to drive the EV propulsion system .
• researcher have developed many EV applicable batteries, and EV batteries market is increased .
• Though the researcher is continuously developed the battery chemistry, the EV battery requirement is not significantly changed. EV required high
energy density, power density, higher specific energy and power, temperature tolerance, long lifecycle, and efficiency . Many researchers’ able
batteries are used in the EV system, such as nickel-based batteries, sodium-Sulphur battery, and Li-ion batteries

The Battery Management System (BMS) is used for batteries of high voltage
hybrid and electric vehicles. As a core component the battery management
system is integrated into the Li-Ion battery and manages all its functions.
Based on collected system data, the cells are individually balanced and
operated under safe conditions

10. Machines and Drives
DC brushed motors
DC brushed motor used
in evs
• In early 1900 the dc brushed motors were used in electric vehicles as
their torque speed characteristic were relatively desired
• But The DC motor drives are no more in use for driving EVs due to
their lower power density, the irregular wear and tear of the carbon
brushes and communicator, lower efficiency.

brushed motors
Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor
BLDC motor have potential for competing with induction motors as
there torque speed graph is desirable and can be improved easily they
have advantages like4
• High power density
• Higher efficiency
• Efficient dissipation of heat
However, these motors inherently have a short constant power region .
And due to availability of better options these motor are not
used

11. INDUCTION MOTOR
The induction motor drives use different strategies (Algorithms) to control the torque speed output
• V/F method
• FOC (Field Oriented
Control)
• It provides good range of speed.
• It gives good running and transient performance.
• It has low starting current requirement.
• It has a wider stable operating region.
• Voltage and frequencies reach rated values at base speed.
• The acceleration can be controlled by controlling the rate of change of supply
frequency.
• It is cheap and easy to implement.
• Improved torque response.
• Torque control at low
frequencies and low speed.
• Dynamic speed accuracy.
• Reduction in size of motor,
cost and power
consumption.
• Four quadrant operation.
• Short-term overload
capability.
AC Induction motors offer enviable operational
characteristics such as robustness, reliability and ease of
control

12. • DTC (Direct torque
Control)
• There is no need to use
coordinate transformations
that are computationally
intensive.
• There is no need to perform
feedback current
control.
• The motor torque can be
directly controlled so that
the torque response is much
faster
•The most mature commutator less motor drive system
•Can be operated like a separately excited DC motor by employing field orientation contro

13. Machines and Drives
• The PMSM motors have advantage of better starting torque over the induction motor
• Input energy requirement is less
A permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) uses permanent magnets embedded
in the steel rotor to create a constant magnetic field. The stator carries windings
connected to an AC supply to produce a rotating magnetic field (as in an
asynchronous motor) and rotor has its own field
• a smaller size for more compact mechanical packages and, more importantly, higher
efficiencies
• Installation and maintenance much easier)
• Ability to maintain full torque at low speeds
The control strategies used in PMSM are
• Flux weakening control
• Sensor less Field oriented control
• Good for low speeds
• high speeds cause back emf issue

14. Syn Reluctance Motor
Advantages if compared to Asynchronous or Permanent Magnets rotors:
• Rotor without permanent magnets.
• No fundamental rotor losses (I2R), highest possible efficiency. • No rotor slip (additional
losses).
• Easy maintenance if compared to PM motors.
• “Cold rotor" (low bearing working temperature).
• good for high speeds
• No back emf issue
• What we understand by reluctance
• What happens when slots are cut into iron
• When will rotor attain low reluctance state
The motor produces reluctance torque
Synchronous Reluctance ROTOR Mechanical construction of the rotor seems to be quite simple
since does not require aluminum /copper casting or magnets assembly but its design is complex
due to the particular “shape” of the rotor slots that must keep the necessary robustness with a
minimized connection sectors between the rotor “poles”.
Synchronous reluctance motor is a synchronous electric motors , the torque of
which is due to the inequality of permeance (magnetic conductivities) by
quadrature and direct axes of the rotor, which has no field windings or
permanent magnets

15. IPMSynRM (Internal permanent magnet synchronous
reluctance motor)
• A IPMSynRM motor is created by combining a PMSM motor and A
SynRM motor thus giving us a totally new and
• IPMSynRM technology is known to us for a long time but now
engineers have developed technology capable of utilizing these
motors in the EVs
• The control strategies are bit complicated for this type of motor and
complex algorithms are there
the IPMSynRM motors take advantages from both motors such as
• the motor works in reliably and efficiently at both low and high
speeds
• Cold rotor
• No rotor slip
• Input energy requirement is less
This new technology in some form is being adapted by major EV
manufacturers such as tesla motor , lucid motors , genral motors EV
prototypes ,tata motor and many more
