Design and Simulation of Permanent Synchronous Drive Motor for Electric Vehicle

Electric vehicle (EV) is the greatest potential production of new energy vehicles. It plays a very important role in the area of energy conservation and reduction of pollutant emissions. In order to accelerate EV industrialization, the paper proposed a motor design method,which need to combine the automobile theory with the design permanent machine (PM). The paper considered the vehicle’s dynamic parameters, defined the motor’s basic parameters and designed the dimensions of electromagnetic structure, and then analyzed the field of the motor using finite element method (FEM). The paper firstly presents that drive motor’s design should consider two respects: one is the vehicle and another is the drive motor. In view of length of paper, only the no-load field analysis was proposed in this paper. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the analysis results.
