Global Optimal Design of a Wheel Traction Motor by a Systemic Approach of the Electric Drive Train

The paper points out a rational methodology to design electric or hybrid drive trains components taking into account the whole system by a global approach. The aim of this global approach is to assure an optimal global solution, all components being simultaneously and conjointly designed to obtain the best adaptation to the desired system specifications. This general methodology is used to design a wheel traction motor, as a component of the global system of an electric kart drive train designed for a specific leisure application
