Modeling and Analysis of Five Phase Surface PMSM for Application in Electric Vehicle

Abstract

Polyphase permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) model outstanding performance in comparison to three phase permanent magnet synchronous motors and this is possible because of the recent development in power electronics. Five phase permanent magnet synchronous motors have significant applications in aerospace and electric vehicles where highly accurate speed and torque control of the motor are a major requirement. This paper presents a detailed analysis of vector controlled five phase permanent magnet synchronous motors in terms of efficiency, power, speed and torque ripple analysis along with the power factor analysis at different speeds. The average torque, torque ripple, speed, speed ripple and power factor for same are calculated and analyzed. The analysis has been carried out through MATLAB Simulink Power Graphical User Interface.
