Abstract

This paper presents the development and control of an electric vehicle (EV) synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drive. A bilateral DC/DC converter is used as an interface between the battery and the motor drive. The boostable and well-regulated DC-link voltage with robust regulation control can enhance the motor driving performance in wide speed range. And the regenerative braking energy can be successfully recovered to the battery. In SynRM drive, the robust current PWM switching control considering inherent slotting effects and robust speed model reference control are made. Moreover, an adaptive commutation scheme (ACS) is developed to automatically set the commutation instant for achieving the motor total loss minimization. The dynamic and static driving characteristics of the established EV SynRM drive in various conditions are verified experimentally.
