Semi-Analytical Approach Towards Design And Optimization Of Induction Machines For Electric Vehicles, Aida Mollaeian Oct 2019

Semi-Analytical Approach Towards Design And Optimization Of Induction Machines For Electric Vehicles, Aida Mollaeian

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Electric machine design is a comprehensive task depending on the several factors, such as material resource limitations and economic factors. Therefore, an induction machine is a promising candidate because of the absence of magnetic material in the rotor. However, the conventional design approach can neither reflect the advances of the induction machine(IM) design nor exploit the trade-offs between design factors and the multi-physics nature of the electrical machine. Therefore, proposing fast and accurate novel methods to design, develop and analyze IMs using electromagnetic field oriented approaches is competitive to the old-fashion numerical methods. To achieve improved IM design from a …


1d Modelling And Analysis Of Thermal Conditioning Systems For Electric Vehicles, Carlo Ciacci Aug 2019

1d Modelling And Analysis Of Thermal Conditioning Systems For Electric Vehicles, Carlo Ciacci

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The limited driving range, due to the poor storage capability of electric batteries, represents one of the greatest challenges in the development of electric vehicles. This concern leads to an extremely demanding design of every component within the vehicle powertrain in order to achieve their maximum energy efficiency and decrease the demand on the battery. Additionally, in cold climate conditions, the efficiency of the heating system of an electric vehicle decreases and it can result in further reducing its driving range. In this thesis, 1D modelling in Amesim will be used to analyze different concepts of thermal management for an …
