Analytic Design of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Dedicated to EV Traction with a Wide Range of Speed Operation

In this paper, we develop a design method of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) in order to exploit it in the electric vehicle propulsion. We dimension our motor in a way to obtain the best dynamic performances and the reduced power consumption while taking in account the various constraints of the book specifications. Simulations of the designed prototype will be presented in order to validate the performance of the motor in interaction with the various constraints of the traction chain. The results obtained show the effectiveness of the designed motor and its good integration in the electric vehicle traction chain, as well as a good satisfaction of the constraints of the book specifications.
