    Abstract: In this paper, we present a comparative study of two Electric Vehicle power chain, one in IGBTs and the other with electromagnetic switches (IEs) in order to select the most efficient in point of view of energy economy and production costs. In this context, a model of the total losses of the two power chains is developed an implanted under Matlab-S... Show More

    Abstract: The production of electric cars in large series is still hampered by their low autonomy due mainly to the low energy storage capacity of the batteries and the importance of overall losses of the power chain. Indeed, the electric vehicle monitoring strategy is a key factor in energy savings leading to improved of the autonomy. In this paper, we pres... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, we present a methodology for electro-thermal characterization of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). This modeling approach is in the aim to evaluating the different temperatures in different active parts of the motor, to choose the type and characteristics of the cooling system to use. This study led to the selection of a c... Show More
