This industry forum brings together practitioners and experts to discuss the challenges of developing power electronics control systems for electric vehicles.
Projections of electric vehicle (EV) sales are difficult to predict, but most analysts estimate EV units will number in the 100’s of millions by 2030. These projections are not exclusive to passenger vehicles and include 2 and 3 wheelers and light- and heavy-duty trucks. The powertrains of these EV’s are built on known and understood electric motor and electricity storage technology. However, vehicle range is a main concern with consumers looking for the same or better driving distance as their combustion engine cousins.
Power electronics control design is a major determinant in the efficiency and range of electric vehicles. Unlike industrial systems with continuous electricity supply, electric vehicles depend on the finite supply or a battery or fuel cell system. Some of the challenges of controlling power electronics in powertrain systems include:
- Controlling current from the inverter to the motor for quick, smooth acceleration and maximum torque per amp
- Capturing electricity from regenerative breaking
- Regulating switching power electronics to control heat build-up
- Testing controllers against real operating and fault conditions
- Developing control strategies beyond field-oriented control
- Controlling various kinds of motors, induction, SRM, IPMSM
