The purpose of this paper is to design the propulsion system for a Neighbourhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) and implement a control architecture which is suitable for this kind of application. The review of the vehicle model is presented. This model is used to establish the propulsion system requirements in terms of torque and power. Once these are known the specifications for the motor and transmission system are derived. A digital platform has been developed and implemented. This hardware platform interacts via wireless communication with a high level application to facilitate writing and reading the host registers. A PC graphical user interface was developed to allow the computation of the control parameters. Some experimental results are provided in order to verify the performance of this new controller.

“…The EV performance characteristics such as acceleration, passing ability, gradeability and maximum speed are steadfastly relying on the speed-torque and power characteristics of the EMs [127,128]. The EM is selected by comparing their features such as starting Torque, power output, efficiency, ease of control, size, cost, noise, life and maintenance [129,130].…”

Electric mobility is getting prominence in modern transportation as government policies aim to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the context of real-time testing, numerical modelling and simulation of electric vehicle (EV) powertrains play a vital role in developing an efficient electric powertrain and charging infrastructure as it consumes less time and cost. Also, it enhances the overall performance by optimizing the size and configuration of the EV powertrain under different driving conditions. Thus, the review paper explores the different modelling approaches used for estimating the energy consumption (EC) and driving range (DR) initially. Further, the vehicle analytical model is discussed in detail with sub-models of powertrain components and vehicle dynamics, which have the mathematical correlation related to power losses and energy flow. Additionally, the necessity, development process, characterization and accuracy of localized driving cycles (DCs) and commonly used driver controller models for EVs are critically elaborated. Further, the impact of various influential input parameters such as vehicle parameters and driving conditions on EV performance characteristics is analyzed along with different improvisation methods utilized in the existing literature. From this extensive review, it can be concluded that simulation results by using an analytical vehicle model have good accuracy with chassis dynamometer-based testing and it can be used for optimizing the size and configuration of EV powertrain components under different scenarios. Finally, the present status and future research required in the field of EV powertrain development through modelling and simulation are summarized to extend the application of EVs in transportation sectors.

“…As a viable solution for complete elimination of the complex combustion engine with fuel oil together, high torque electric motor is crucially necessary due to economic imperatives. Meanwhile, surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) [18][19] has been developed that has completely eliminated CE and the use of fuel oil from HES, thus pure electric scooter vehicle (ESV) in the following scooters: Kingday electric scooters, Aima electric scooters, Mobility electric scooter and Terra motors with operating ranges between 35-60 km/hr and power output of 3kW-5kW respectively. However, the torque capability of the motor operates at low speed range thus, the continuous search for a high torque motors for high performance suitable for long distance travels.…”

Abstract. Electric scooters also known as electric motorcycle are viable and personal means of road transportation have been making their ways into the world markets now because in them, combustion engine with the use of fuel oil for propulsion have been completely eliminated for economic and environmental imperatives. Electric motor which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy is used to overcome the complication of combustion engine. As it is, everyone is opting for combustion engine free and fuel-less type of vehicle. For this reason, manufacturers have exhibited interest, making research on electric motor very attractive. Meanwhile, surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) has been successfully developed having output torque of 110 Nm, the assembly of motor lacked mechanical strength between the rotor yoke and the mounted permanent magnet (PM) which heats up during speed operation, resulting to poor performance. To overcome the challenges laced with SPMSM, this paper presents a novel design of 24 stator 14 pole outer rotor-permanent magnet flux switching motor (SOR-PMFSM) capable of high torque and high performance. It employs an unconventional segmented rotor which has short flux path flow. It also embraces alternate stator tooth windings to reduce material cost. Design specifications and restriction with input DC current are the same with SPMSM. The 2D-FEA by JMAG, version 14 is used to examine the performance of the proposed motor in terms of cogging torque, back-emf, average torque, power and efficiency. Preliminary results showed that torque, power output and efficiency of the proposed motor are 1.9Nm times, 5.8kW times more than SPMSM and efficiency of 84% thus, can sustain acceleration for long distance travel.
