Projects:2014S1-04 All Electric Vehicle for City Use

This project is a continuing project from 2008. The aim of this year project is to build an electric vehicle driving system to achieve the road test and data logging.

Project information

Motivation and Background

• Facing the increasing air pollution and Carbon Dioxide emissions, the electric vehicle is a feasible alternative choice of traditional vehicles with internal-combustion engines.
• The most significant electric motor control principle applied in this project is the Field Oriented Control (FOC). In the operation, two phase currents of motor are sampled and converted into a two co-ordinate time invariant system by Clarke Transformation and Park Transformation. By controlling the converted torque component, we can achieve the torque control as well as speed control.
