A Control Scheme With Energy Saving and DC-Link Overvoltage Rejection for Induction Motor Drives of Electric Vehicles

This paper presents a control scheme for an induction \nmotor that integrates, within a coherent solution, some of \nthe features that are commonly required from an electric vehicle \ndrive. The main features of the proposed control scheme \nare the capability to exploit the maximum torque in the whole \nspeed range, a weak dependence on the motor parameters, a \ngood robustness against the variations of the dc-link voltage, and, \nwhenever possible, the maximum efficiency. The performance of \nthe control scheme is verified by experimental tests.
