Abstract

With the recent advancements in the field of vehicle mobility, the Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles have replaced the conventional IC engine based vehicles with the motto of efficient, clean and safe transportation. A novel machine topology called Twin Rotor Axial Flux Induction Machine (TRAFIM) which has higher power density has been used in this proposed work for the required propulsion. This induction machine is fed through two Seven Level Inverters having a single dc source and eliminates the bulky and less efficient mechanical differential. The two MLIs deliver the required power to the TRAFIM in accordance with the control signals generated from an electrically modelled steering. The gating pulses for the inverter have been generated using Phase Shifted PWM technique. The proposed system has been simulated in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the results have been presented.
