Analytical modeling of a new disc permanent magnet linear synchronous machine for electric vehicles

This paper develops an analytical approach based on a qd0 reference frame model to analyze dynamic and steady state characteristics of disc permanent magnet linear synchronous machines (DPMLSMs). The established compact mathematical model can be more easily employed to analyze the system behavior and to design the controller. Superiority in operational electromagnetic characteristics of the proposed DPMLSM for electric vehicle (EV) applications is verified by both numerical simulations and experimental investigations.
