Abstract: Electric propulsion systems on HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles) are part of ICE vehicle electrification, to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 pollution and (or) increase human safety and comfort. The axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine, also called the disc-type machine, is an attractive alternative due to its pancake shape, compact constructions and high power density. AFPM motors are particularly suitable for electrical vehicles, pumps, fans, valve control, centrifuges, machine tools, robots and industrial.
The present paper reviews in terms of topology and performance, what was done so far on electric propulsion systems for HEVs.
The actual e - continuously variable transmission (e-CVT) solution for the parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) requires two electric machines, two inverters, and a planetary gear. A distinct electric generator and a propulsion electric motor, both with full power converters, are typical for a series HEV.
In an effort to simplify the planetary-geared e-CVT for the parallel HEV or the series HEV we hereby propose to replace the basically two electric machines and their two power converters by a single, axial-air-gap, electric machine central stator, fed from a single PWM converter with dual frequency voltage output and two independent PM rotors.
The proposed topologies, main key design equations, the magneto-motive force analysis, optimal design and quasi 3D-FEM validation, vector control strategy and PWM independent control for two shaft are the core of the presentation.
