The in-wheel motor used in green car was designed and constructed for an electric direct-drive traction system. It is difficult to connect cooling water piping because the in-wheel motor is located within the wheel structure. In the air cooling structure for the in-wheel motor, a outer surface on the housing is provided with cooling grooves to increase the heat transfer area. In this study, we carried out the analysis on the fluid flow and thermal characteristics of the in-wheel motor under the effects of motor speed and heat generation. In order to check the problem of heat release, the analysis has been performed using conjugate heat transfer (conduction and convection). As a result, flow fields and temperature distribution inside the in-wheel motor were obtained for base speed condition (1250 rpm) and maximum speed condition (5000 rpm). Also, the thermo-flow characteristics analysis of in-wheel motor for vehicles was performed in consideration of ram air effect. Therefore, we checked the feasibility of the air cooling for the housing geometry having cooling grooves and investigated the cooling performance enhancement.

The aim of this study is to design a simulation model for an electric All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) tractor to evaluate the performance of the selected component and agricultural work ability. The electric AWD tractor consists of four motors independently for each drive wheel, and each motor is combined with an engine generator, a battery pack, and reducers. The torque data of a 78 kW-class tractor was measured during plow tillage and driving operation to develop a workload cycle. A simulation model was developed by using commercial software, Simulation X, and it used the workload as the simulation condition. As a result of simulation analysis, the drive system, including an electric motor and reducers, was able to cope with high load during plow tillage. The SOC (State of Charge) level was influenced by the output power of the motor, and it was maintained in the range of 50~80%. The fuel consumed by the engine was about 18.23 L during working on a total of 8 fields. The electric AWD tractor was able to perform agricultural work for about 7 hours. In the future study, the electric AWD tractor will be developed reflecting the simulation condition. Research on the comparison between the simulation model and the electric AWD tractor should be performed.

This paper presents the design of in-wheel type Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) which can be used as both traction motor and power pickup device in a wireless charging system of electric vehicles. The SRM acts as a traction drive in driving mode and a power receiver in charging mode to avoid any additional weights. Double stator axial field SRM is used due to its structure that can be mounted inside the wheel. The charging circuit is integrated with the asymmetric converter and phase windings of SRM, reducing the cost and size of the system. Magnetic resonance is implemented to increase the efficiency. Simulations done in Maxwell and Simplorer verify the effectiveness of the proposed system.

This paper proposes a novel motor drive system for the electric vehicle. In this paper, four-wheel-direct-drive type electric vehicle system is designed and the theoretical and experimental analysis of the system is investigated. The concept of steering not with steering the wheels but with the difference of the motor torque fives the flexibility of the vehicle design and, allows the omission of the differential gear, transmission gear, and drive axles. Thus the proposed system gives the space between wheels and improves the driver's steering performance.

This paper discusses about analyzing in-wheel vehicle's dynamic motion and load torque. Since in-wheel vehicle controls each left and right driving wheels, it is dangerous if vehicle's wheels are not in a cooperative control. First, this study builds the main wheel control logic using PID control theory and evaluates the stability. Using Carsim-Matlab/Simulink, vehicle dynamic motion is simulated in virtual 3D driving road. Through this, in-wheel vehicle's driving performance can be analyzed. The target vehicle is a rear-wheel drive in D-class sedan. Second, by using the first In-wheel vehicle's performance results, it derivate the drive motor's dynamic load torque for applying the dynamometer. Extracted load torque impute to dynamometer's load motor, linear experiment in dynamometer can replicated the 3-D road driving status. Also it, will be able to evaluate the more accurate performance analysis and stability, as a previous step of actual vehicle experiment.

This paper describes a reference flux angle selection for a vector control in the parallel operation system that consists of a inverter and several induction motors. In particular, this paper suggests which flux angle of motors prefers for the vector control in the train drive system that diameters of wheels are different. Through simulation for a 210[kW] induction motor drive system, it is clear that the vector control by using of the flux angle of a motor having a minimum wheel diameter leads to a minimum torque difference. However, it requires too many current sensors. So, it is shown that the vector control by a average flux angle of motors is preferable.

This paper presents an integrated fault diagnosis algorithm for driving motor of In-wheel independent drive electric vehicle. Especially, this paper proposes a method that integrated the high level fault diagnosis and the low level fault diagnosis in order to improve a robustness and performance of the fault diagnosis system. The high level fault diagnosis is performed using the vehicle dynamics analysis and the low level fault diagnosis is carried using the motor system analysis. The validity of the high level fault diagnosis algorithms was verified through $Carsim^{(R)}$ and MATLAB/$Simulink^{(R)}$ cosimulation and the low level fault diagnosis's validity was shown by applying it to a MATLAB/$Simulink^{(R)}$ interior permanent magnet synchronous motor control system. Finally, this paper presents a fault diagnosis strategy by combining the high level fault diagnosis and the low level fault diagnosis.

전동차용 견인전동기 시스템은 저항 및 쵸퍼 제어에 의한 직류 전동기 방식에서 인버터 제어에 의한 유도전동기 방식으로 발전하였다. 오늘날 유도전동기 기술은 어느 정도 성숙기에 접어들었지만 최근에는 소음제거, 효율 극대화 및 유지보수 비용 절감 등의 이점이 있는 감속기를 제거한 직접 구동용 영구자석 전동기가 새로이 각광받고 있다. 특히 기계적으로 견고한 매입형 영구자석 동기전동기는 출력/토크 밀도가 높고 약계자 제어성이 우수하며 고효율 운전이 가능하다. 본 논문은 자기적 포화특성이 심한 영구자석 전동기를 대상으로 고급화된 비선형 수치해석 기법을 적용하여 설계된 전동기의 특성해석을 나타낸다.
