Three-Phase 75 kW Brushless Direct Current Motor for Electric Vehicles: Different Power Stage Design, Calculation of Losses, Cooling Techniques, and Comparison

1. Overview: 2. Research Background: The increasing need to reduce CO2 and SO2 emissions due to climate change necessitates improvements in electric vehicle efficiency. While Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors are widely used in EVs due to their high power density, efficiency, and reliability, their operational lifespan is limited by high internal heat generation and

A Review of Air-Cooling Battery Thermal Management Systems for Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles

1. Overview: 2. Background: The paper begins by highlighting the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) since the 1900s, primarily due to the combustion of fossil fuels in internal combustion engines (ICEs). Transportation is a significant contributor to these emissions. Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are presented as promising solutions to reduce
