Popis: Energy transition and decarbonization present significant challenges to transportation. Electric machines, such as motors and generators, are increasingly replacing internal combustion engines to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study focuses on enhancing the energy efficiency of electric machines used in vehicles, which are predominantly powered by batteries with limited energy capacity. By investigating various control strategies, the aim is to minimize energy losses and improve overall vehicle performance. This research examines two types of electric motors: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) and Induction Motor (IM). Real-time loss measurements were conducted during simulated driving cycles, including acceleration, constant speed, and braking phases, to mimic typical driving behavior. The simulation utilized characteristics from commercial vehicles, specifically the Renault Zoé and Bombardier eCommander, to assess the controls under different configurations. This study employed the Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) formalism to standardize the analysis across different motors and controls. The results demonstrate significant loss reductions. The controls investigated in this study effectively reduce energy losses in electric motors, supporting their applicability in the automotive industry.
