Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, with the proliferating demand for a sustainable and carbon-neutral economy, electric vehicles have proven to be an ideal technology for the future. As a key enabling component of electric vehicles, electric machines face urgent demands for high density, efficiency and an adequate speed range in order to satisfy the requirements of electric vehicles. Therefore, in order to provide high safety and flexibility, further research involving the motor design, power electronic topology, and control of electric vehicles is required in order to enhance their performance. These above innovations will inevitably promote the development of the electric vehicle industry.

The Guest Editor of Energies welcomes researchers working within the field to contribute to this Special Issue entitled "Electrical Drive Systems and Automatic Control of Electric Vehicles". The aim of this Special Issue is to present and disseminate the latest research concerning the design, modeling, optimization, topology and automatic control of electric machines and electric vehicles. It provides a platform for researchers and experts to discuss their innovative solutions to overcome the challenges present in the field of electric drive systems and electric vehicles. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Electric machines design and optimization;

Power electronics;

Wireless charging systems;

Energy management systems;

Artificial intelligence in electric vehicles;

Safety assessment for electric vehicles;

Advanced control in electric machines and electric vehicles

The control of mechanical energy loss is especially key in the design of permanent magnet drive motors for special vehicles. This paper takes a 300 kW high-efficiency motor as an example, and under the operating condition of 9000 rev/min, in order to control the size of the mechanical loss Pmech, improve the efficiency of the motor, as well as enhance the ventilation and heat dissipation performance of the motor, the structural parameters of the motor’s Axis fan are identified by using the Reverse Engineering (RE), and the fan performance is simulated and analysed by using the standard k-ε turbulence model of Computational Fluid Dynamics. The mechanical loss calculation model is investigated, and the effects of different blade numbers, wrap angles, and mounting angle parameters of the fan on the mechanical loss Pmech are derived. And finally, the scheme is calculated to show that when the blade number Z is 13, the wrap angle Δφ is 60°, the front mounting angle Φ1 is 45°, and the rear mounting angle Φ2 is 30°, the mechanical loss Pmech decreases from 8.0 kW to 2.54 kW, and the motor efficiency η0 is greatly improved, increasing from 94.2% to 96.1%. Meanwhile, based on finite element simulation experiments, the effects of the motor Axis fan on the steady-state temperature field of the pre-optimised and post-optimised fans are compared, and the optimised axis fan makes the motor ventilation and heat dissipation more reasonable. The maximum temperature of the motor under the same working condition decreased by 16.7 K, the efficiency η0 of this motor was greatly improved, and the efficiency η0 increased from 94.2% to 96.1%.
