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
1. Overview: 2. Research Background: High-performance conductors are essential for economically and environmentally sustainable electricity transfer in modern infrastructure, manufacturing, and transportation, including electric vehicles. While copper has been the traditional conductor of choice, aluminum offers significant advantages in terms of cost and weight reduction for electricity transmission and distribution. Over 14% of global aluminum
1. Overview: 2. Research Background: Induction Motor (IM) drives are a crucial technology in modern industry, powering various applications including material handling, food and beverage processing, and electric transportation systems like EVs and e-trucks. Recently, there’s a growing focus on high-efficiency IM drive systems to reduce energy and fuel consumption, aligning with global sustainability initiatives.
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
1. Overview: 2. Research Background: High-power LEDs are increasingly popular in various applications, offering advantages like long lifespan, high reliability, low energy consumption, fast response time, and color variability. However, their efficiency (15-25% power-to-light conversion) is limited, with over 80% of power dissipated as heat, leading to high junction temperatures. Maintaining junction temperatures below 120°C
