Electric Motors for Vehicle Propulsion
This work is intended to contribute with knowledge to the area of
electic motors for propulsion in the vehicle industry. This is
done by first studying the different electric motors available,
the motors suitable for vehicle propulsion are then di- vided
into four different types to be studied separately. These four
types are the direct current, induction, permanent magnet and
switched reluctance motors. The design and construction are then
studied to understand how the different types differ from each
other and which differences that are of importance when it comes
to vehicle propulsion. Since the amount of available data about
different electric motors turned out to be small a tool was
developed to use for collecting data from the sources available
which can be for instance product sheets or articles with in-
formation about electric motors. This tool was then used to
collect data that was used to create models for the different
motor types. The created motor models for each motor type could
then be used for simulating vehicles to investigate how the
specific motor is suited for different vehicles and
applications. The work also con- tains a summary of different
electric motor comparison studies which makes it a good source of
information during motor type selection in the process of
designing an electric vehicle.
