Design, simulation and indigenous development of 10 kW PMSM

Abstract

This Project aims to develop, simulate, and indigenously design a 10 kW PMSM for Electric Vehicle (EV) applications. The project focuses on creating a mathematical model, conducting simulations using Motor Solve and Ansys Maxwell 2D Motor Design Software, and performing experiments to validate the model. Additionally, the improvement in efficiency by changing the parameters and material (remaining within the cost constraints) are our focus so that the project may be well suited for mass production in future. PMSMs often use rare earth metals, which are associated with environmental and ethical concerns. Our concern is to indigenously develop a PMSM capable of delivering 10kW Power output, 1500 RPM (Medium) and further to provide a complete and valid Mathematical Model consisting of valid formulas and variables (dependent, independent, and iterative). Such a model is envisaged to furnish designers with the flexibility requisite for iterative refinement and optimization, thus empowering them to navigate the intricate design landscape with precision and efficacy. Through this project, we aim to contribute to the sustainable development of EV technology by mitigating reliance on rare earth metals and advancing the efficiency and viability of PMSMs for future mass production and widespread adoption in the automotive industry.
