Hybrid and electric vehicle technology has seen rapid development in recent years. The motor and the generator are at the heart of the vehicle drive and energy system and often utilize expensive rare-earth permanent magnet (PM) material. This paper reviews and addresses the research work that has been carried out to reduce the amount of rare-earth material that is used while maintaining the high efficiency and performance that rare-earth PM machines offer. These new machines can use either less rare-earth PM material, weaker ferrite magnets, or no magnets; and they need to meet the high performance that the more usual interior PM synchronous motor with sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnets provides. These machines can take the form of PM-assisted synchronous reluctance machines, induction machines, switched reluctance machines, wound rotor synchronous machines (claw pole or biaxially excited), doublesaliency machines with ac or dc stator current control, or brushless dc multiple-phase reluctance machines.

“…[30] and [71]. Obtainable literature [13], [17] and [20] to [25] has shown in-wheel motor faults in detail from the electrical point of view, in order to understand potential hazards for designing and preventing potential motor malfunction when in operation. Markedly less literature is obtainable regarding potential mechanical malfunctions, irrespective of the fact that some of them are directly connected with electric motors for other applications.…”

In this paper, fault tolerant topologies based on permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) are presented. A numerical model for the simulation of the operational behaviour under normal and fault conditions is developed and validated by test bench measurements. For different fault tolerant topologies, control strategies for normal and post-fault operation are presented and validated by measurements and simulations. In post-fault operation, the presented control-strategies allow the compensation of braking torques and to avoid overvoltages at the machine terminals. In normal operation, the additional degrees of freedom are utilized to improve operational behaviour in various aspects
