Multiphysics Modelling and Real Time Simulation of a Permanent-Magnet Machine for Electric Vehicles

This paper presents a multiphysics modelling and real-time simulation of PMSMs. The study includes electromagnetic modelling, thermal modelling, and finally, a real-time reduced-order model simulation is developed. The resulting model is capable of online estimation of machine parameters and temperature. The results have been compared with dedicated software and a good agreement has been noticed.
