“…In addition, this control method is mostly used in all manufacturing and industrial settings for controlling the speed required with a low initial current. Scalar control involves a steady-state model of the motor because it controls the stator flux by varying the amplitude of the voltage and frequency to obtain the control torque [65,66]. Scalar control techniques of BLDC motors can be achieved in two categories based on variable supply voltage control and constant voltage/ frequency (V/F) control.…”

In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have attracted a lot of attention and are rapidly growing trends today due to their ability to compete with and overtake fossil fuel-powered vehicles among all electrified transportation tools. The primary focus of EV evolution is on improving driving range and optimizing energy consumption, both of which are essential demands achieved through improved and developing motor performance. The brushless direct current (BLDC) motor is one of the most superior choices for dynamic applications in EVs, providing the highest power density and capability of any motor. BLDCs are gaining popularity in EVs not only for their high performance in speed and position controls but also for meeting the requirements of smooth torque maintenance with torque ripple mitigation. This paper provides an overview of various advanced control strategies, such as field-oriented control (FOC), direct torque control (DTC), intelligent control (IC), controlling input voltage (CIV), current shaping techniques (CST), model predictive control (MPC), and sliding mode control (SMC). These strategies are used to regulate the torque ripples produced in BLDC motors, aiming to achieve energy-efficient EV performance for various applications. Additionally, it describes a cloud-based control system coupled with electric motor drives to address challenges in predicting current vehicle conditions for improved power distribution between the motor and battery systems. Furthermore, recent concerns and difficulties in advancing torque ripple mitigation control strategies are highlighted, with comparisons and discussions for future EV research. Finally, an evaluative study on BLDC motor drive in EVs with different control strategies reveals its significance and potential outcomes.

“…Another study [24]- [26] uses duty cycle control, which uses an active voltage vector for part of a control period and a zero-voltage vector for the rest of the control period. Another new study related to the improvement of dynamic performance in DTC by integrating the supercapacitor as the input voltage for the inverter is covered in [27], [28].…”

Modern electric vehicles (EVs) that drive an induction motor (IM) fed by a traction inverter are fast gaining popularity due to their simple configuration and robustness. The direct torque control (DTC) technique is one of the best control methods to drive the IM, especially in open-end winding configurations, as it offers more voltage vectors. However, the existence of hysteresis controllers and improper switching technique causes larger torque ripples that leads to variable switching frequency. The study will be focused on the open-end winding induction motor where the direct current (DC) power is fed from both sides of the stator windings using the dual inverter configuration. To minimize the torque ripples, a simple switching technique using the duty cycle control method is proposed by injecting a high-frequency square wave into the default inverter switching status to form the new pattern of voltage vectors. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is tested through MATLAB/Simulink software and validated experimentally with a lab-scale setup using a dSPACE controller. The findings show that the proposed method reduces torque ripple by over 50% while keeping the DTC's simple structure.
