3. INDUCTION DRIVES
Induction drives are widely accepted brushless drive for EVs, because of their low cost higher reliability and freedom from maintenance. Conventional control of induction drives such as variable voltage frequency cannot provide the desired performance. The major reason is due to the nonlinearities of their dynamic model. Efficiency-optimizing -control(EOC) approaches have been developed for the EV induction drives which can reduce the consumed energy by about 10% and increase the regenerative energy by about 4% leading to the extension of the driving range of the EVs. Electrically pole changing schemes have been developed for the EV Induction drives, which can significantly extend the constant-power operating region to over four times the base speed.
