Modelling Of An Electric Vehicle Using PMSM Motor With Field Oriented Control Strategy

Abstract

This research paper focus on modelling of an Electric Vehicle using Field-Oriented Control (FOC) which is a highly effective technique for enhancing the performance of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) in electric vehicles (EVS), where over the past few decades, global warming has become a major global concern although different green energy policies are being formulated and implemented by government. Hence, a comprehensive simulation model of a rear-wheel-drive EV is developed using MATLAB/Simulink, where a PMSM serves as the propulsion system. The model includes detailed vehicle dynamics, enabling the calculation of total tractive effort based on vehicle mass, road load forces, and rotational inertia. These parameters are used to determine the total torque demand required for acceleration and overcoming resistive forces. The study presents an in-depth analysis of FOC implementation for PMSMS in EVS, emphasizing both motor control and vehicle-level performance.
