| Title | Power Electronic Converter for Electrical Vehicle |
| Abstract | EVs depend on which called electric propulsion, in which an Electric Motor is used to drive the vehicle instead of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and the energy sources are batteries, fuel cells, or capacitors instead of gasoline or diesel fuel in the conventional ICE vehicles. Thus, Power Electronics Technology (PET)plays an important role in the Electrical Propulsion System (EPS)in order to efficiently drive the electric motor of the vehicle and control the power converters and the associated electronic circuits. An overview of the current status of Power Electronic Drives (PED)for EVs and recent research trends in EV motors, power converters, and energy storage systems will be discussed. Challenges associated with designing, controlling, and operating the Power Electronic Modulator (PEM)used in EVs will be also discussed showing the latest achievements in this field. Challenges and problems associated with PEM will be also analysed. |
