Description
Summary:In the last decade, the demand for EVs has been increasing extraordinarily, further increasing development in their propulsion systems, which require a high power-to- weight ratio or high power density. This paper presents the design and FEA of a 300W axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) BLDC motor for an electric bicycle. The general sizing equations have been used to determine the dimensions of the motor. The single-variable optimization technique has been implemented on the motor, and performance analysis has been done by checking the critical parameters, which include the flux linkage, cogging torque, load torque, and ripple content. The outcome from this analysis will show that an AFM is best suited for electric vehicle applications with regard to dimensions, weight, spatial constraints, and power density demands.
