Automotive brushless motor powered by fuel cell

In this paper, a complete simulation setup for AC motor drives which is suitable for automotive purposes is proposed. The simulation model of the whole motor drive including the motor, inverter drive and primary supply is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The proposed simulation setup is a well-suited tool for system sizing and control algorithm design. System performances can be evaluated under effective working conditions since the simulation step. According to actual regulation in force, the urban cycle test is carried out. The speed profile of a vehicle through an urban way is forced as speed input of the motor drive. Thanks to the proposed approach, sizing, suitability of the fuel cell stack and need of load leveling algorithms as well are evaluated since the simulation stage. Simulation results are discussed to highlights benefits brought by the proposed simulation approach.
