Proposed Research Work

(i) Project Title: Traction Motor Design ( Induction Motor) for Electric Vehicle Propulsion to Meet
IEC4 Standards
ii. Introduction:
Efficiency is a vital parameter for drive systems in electric and hybrid electric vehicle drive
motors. Perhaps more essential part is size of the motor and total weight. For these reasons, the first
choice of motor one would consider for vehicle propulsion is likely to be a permanent magnet motor
made up of high efficiency magnets. With power free excitation, low fundamental reactance and the
ability to rise the pole number, permanent magnet machines can be exceptionally light in weight and
highly efficient. The expected requirement for performance such as wide speed range can force some
concessions in permanent magnet motor design, but in voltage control aspects the permanent
magnet flux be restricted, and then to produce high torque at low speeds, in those condition
permanent magnet motor are up against other motor. But in other hand with low production and
manufacturing cost, very rare earth magnet free, easy maintenance, and wildly proven most trusted
induction motor can be the best alternative to replace permanent magnet motor.
In Electric and Hybrid vehicle drives, properly designed Induction motor can produce high
efficiency significantly higher than in the case of permanent magnet motors, even if the specific time
efficiency of the induction machine is lower when compared permanent magnet machine. More
specifically IEC4 guidance to design general purpose motor with very high efficiency (premium
efficiency) which is 90 to 94 %. The objective of the proposed research is to find out how to design
induction motors for drive applications by meeting IEC4 standards with the help of various drive cycle
of the vehicle.
Origin of the research problem:

With visible time of EV Era induction motors have been gone through many changes
throughout the years. Almost all the areas of induction motor have been explored. But still best of
induction motor yet to come. Optimization methods plays a crucial role in making of Excellent IM
Drive. From the basic point of view characters of the motor depend on the type of load and its
requirement. In EV also it is important to understand the need of vehicle and where it is employed. It
may be used in On Road, off road, racing, Sport Car, or Complicated terrain vehicle. Before getting
into design we must understand the exact need of Vehicle and its power train. The drive motor and its
driving systems used in the electrical vehicle have a lot of differences in design and performance
characteristics compared with general industrial purpose motor. It must meet the vehicle requirement
of wide transfer speed range, high efficiency, and high torque in the low speed and wide range high
power density.
In the search of electrical machine technologies for traction applications, induction machines are
possibly the lowest cost, and it can be operate over a wide speed range. However, they have a lower
torque density, week power factor usage and efficiency compared to other special motors like SRM,
IPM, Sync RM, permanent magnet (PM) brushless machines. So finding the best of Induction motor
for the use of EV/HEV application is the motive of this project.
Interdisciplinary relevance
Research on Electrical machines started from the beginning of Electric Era. From Edisons
General Motors to most recent Tesla Model S electric motors are passed through various stages and
many challenges. Now Electric vehicle Traction motors generates great attention all over the world.
Because of omission of fossil fuels and oils. So finding the best motor that suit for electric vehicle
traction is much intended to this topic.
Review of Research and Development in the Subject:
International status:
There are many most advanced research are going in and around the world. US department
of Energy has given great initiative to research to find best motor technology. They are working in
highly advanced than any other nations in the world. Many of Auto making giants like Ford, Toyota,
GM, and Tesla are involved in their own research. Huge amount of journals research titles are
available to access the development in this field.
National Status:
In India, attention on Electric Vehicles are slowly growing. Very few auto makers are doing
research in EV propulsion. But it is the right time to shift our focus on Pollution and Emission free
transportation. There are limited numbers of research are progressing in this area. Especially in
Electric Traction Motor Design.
Significance of the study:

EV and HEV are the major alterative for polluting IC Engine vehicles. Researching Traction
motor is most significant aspect in the case of EV/HEV. While looking for efficiency improvement,
losses reduction is a major challenge for every researcher in this filed, meanwhile accomplished
research shows how important it is. Various machines have been tested for Traction propulsion.
Avoiding Rare earth magnets is another way of reducing the cost of the machine. In this way
Induction Motor design is most significance to research .
(iii) Objectives:
Designing an Induction motor for traction motor application.

Traction motor efficiency must meet IEC4 standards.
Various drive cycles have to be analysed to get accurate power demand of EV/HEV
Other possible ways to be explored to improve the Induction motor Efficiency.
(iv) Methodology:
Performance requirement of IEC4 must be evaluated. Which includes required efficiency range
and Permitted losses level.
Traction motor power demand must be the outcome of Drive Cycle.
Various drive cycles must be analysed to prepare unique Drive to meet many of expected and
unexpected drive conditions.
Premium efficiency Induction motor designed in Advanced FEA softwares.
Prototype of the design must be prepared.
(v) Year-wise Plan of work and targets to be achieve.

As per the Methodology, the following is the proposed time schedule:
Phase I
06 months
Phase II
