| Abstract | Environmental concerns have renewed the interest in electric vehicles. To gain widespread use, electric vehicles will also have to offer good performance and be reasonably priced. AC drive systems using modern semiconductors can provide efficient operation at the required power levels, but their cost at present is still too high. This paper discusses the development of an AC induction motor drive system which potentially lowers cost by using a digital controller. The controller is shown to implement a high performance field-oriented control, while keeping a low parts count by maximizing use of interface circuits which are integrated onto the microprocessor chip. Cost is further reduced by designing the system to reuse motor control components for battery charging and eliminate the need for external circuits. Experimental results are presented for a low power prototype system. |
