Energy-Efficient and Robust Control for High-Performance Induction Motor Drive With an Application in Electric Vehicles

This paper presents the design and implementation procedures of a control scheme for a high-performance induction motor drive for the traction purpose of full-scale electric vehicles to be series produced. For automotive use, the control scheme is designed with the expectation of possible advances in energy efficiency by adopting maximum-torque-per-ampere control and in robustness by employing extensive compensations for variations in magnetic flux, temperature, and voltage. The control scheme is then validated in the course of the bench test, followed by the in-vehicle test.
