Abstract
The paper aims to accomplish a standardized simulator for urban cycle of an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle is supplied by two power sources: a fuel cell and a battery. Each source is connected in series with one three-phase inverter to a separate DC-DC converter in order to stabilize the voltage. Each of the two 3-phase inverters feeds alternatively the stator of an asynchronous machine with six phases. Field oriented vector control is involved; the obtained numerical results emphasize the quality of the strategy, and of the chosen architecture.
