Determination of Parameters of Motor Simulation Module Employed in ADVISOR

This paper deals with the determination of parameters in the motor module of advanced vehicle simulator (ADVISOR) which is an advanced vehicle simulation software. In the ADVISOR, the traction motor of vehicle is defined by efficiency map, maximum torque/speed curve and so forth. Due to the prevalence of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), this paper mainly focuses on the calculation of efficiency map of IPMSM considering magnetic nonlinearity. Firstly, by means of numerical methods, the inductance and iron loss resistance are calculated. Next according to equivalent circuits, the motor characteristics including speed, torque and efficiency are investigated. Finally, the calculated efficiency result is verified by the experiment data, and all parameters are loaded and implemented in ADVISOR for testing.
