Control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor for electric scooter application

This research work deals with an electric scooter which propulsion is employed with a permanent magnet synchronous machine (in-wheel topology). A special machine type was design, analyzed and constructed and its control is presented here. The control is based on field oriented control technique, while the highest possible (unity) power factor is search, within the control technique. The operation of the motorization of the electric scooter is verified in experiments.
