Electric Propulsion Systems
Abstract
Electric propulsion systems are at the heart of EVs and HEVs. They consist of electric motors, power converters, and electronic controllers. The electric motor converts the electric energy into mechanical energy to propel the vehicle or vice versa, to enable regenerative braking and/or to generate electricity for the purpose of charging the on-board energy storage. The power converter is used to supply the electric motor with proper voltage and …
