Control Strategies Of Dc–Dc Converter In Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle, Pronay Kumar Chakrobarty Jul 2020

Control Strategies Of Dc–Dc Converter In Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle, Pronay Kumar Chakrobarty

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is a significant need to research and develop a compatible controller for the DC–DC converter used in fuel cells electric vehicles (EVs). Research has shown that fuel cells (FC) EVs have the potential of providing a far more promising performance in comparison to conventional combustion engine vehicles. This study aims to present a universal sliding mode control (SMC) technique to control the DC bus voltage under varying load conditions. Additionally, this research will utilize improved DC–DC converter topologies to boost the output voltage of the FCs. A DC–DC converter with a properly incorporated control scheme can be utilized to …


Thermal Modeling Of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors For Electric Vehicle Application, Pratik Roy Jan 2020

Thermal Modeling Of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors For Electric Vehicle Application, Pratik Roy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is a better choice as a traction motor since it has high power density and high torque capability within compact structure. However, accommodating such high power within compact space is a great challenge, as it is responsible for significant rise of heat in PMSM. As a result, there is considerable increase in operating temperature which in turn negatively affects the electromagnetic performance of the motor. Further, if the temperature rise exceeds the permissible limit, it can cause demagnetization of magnets, damage of insulation, bearing faults, etc. which in turn affect the overall lifecycle of the …
