“…Technological developments in electronics, propulsion systems, electric motors, control systems and information technology have a dominant role in the application of electric propulsion system technology. Several electric motors have been proposed for propulsion drives such as BLDC motors [4], induction motors [5] and synchronous motors with permanent magnets [6]. The PMSM has the advantages such as light weight, small size, , economical fuel consumption, high power density and has a good dynamic response, making it very suitable for the use of ship propulsion systems [7].…”
