Performance analysis and comparison of dual-rotor Hybrid Permanent Magnet Induction Machine topologies for electric vehicle application

摘要

A dual-rotor Hybrid Permanent Magnet Induction Machine (PMIM) having high torque and high power capability and possessing the advantages of both PM synchronous and induction machines can be a suitable option for electric vehicle application. This paper deals with the performance analysis of various possible topologies of PMIM and a conventional Squirrel Cage Induction Machine (SCIM) along with their comparison with each other. The aim of this analysis is to establish the superiority of PMIM over conventional induction machine in terms of torque and efficiency. The paper also identifies the most suitable PMIM topology among various for electric vehicle application.
