Fuel cell Input Based PMSM Motor Drive for Electric Vehicle Applications

Abstract

The integration of fuel cell technology with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives holds immense potential for advancing electric vehicle technology. This work provides an overview on operation of 'Fuel Cell Fed PMSM Drive for Electric Vehicles' by highlighting its key aspects and implications. In this paper, an enhanced DC-DC boost converter that offers more gain than a standard boost converter for the same duty cycle is presented. Field-oriented control (FOC) strategy has been used to control speed and torque using SPWM Modulation technique further FOC Strategy will lead to enhanced motor performance, reduced settling time, and precise control of motor speed and position. Secondly, the FOC strategy enables high-efficiency operation by minimizing energy losses, especially in high-torque and low-speed regions. The future scope of fuel cell fed PMSM Drive for electric vehicles, outlining key areas of development and advancement. These areas include technological improvements in fuel cell systems, infrastructure development for hydrogen refueling stations, cost reduction measures, regulatory support and incentives, collaboration and partnerships among stakeholders, and market expansion. By addressing these aspects, fuel cell-fed PMSM Drive has the potential to revolutionize the automotive industry and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future transportation. © 2023 IEEE.
