Electric Two-Wheeler BLDC Hub Motor Design, Modeling, and Performance in Real-Time Use

The push on electric mobility given by the government of India gained a lot of importance in the recent years with a subsequent growth in the electric vehicles especially two-wheeler focused. This brings an urgent need for the improvement of performance criteria in electric vehicles. Although electric vehicles are more efficient than conventional vehicles, the parameters like the efficiency of the electric motor, torque measurement, back emf, and speed of the electric vehicle and motor are to be continuously evaluated to hold the electric vehicles place at the top. In this paper, a deep research was done on the performance of a BLDC hub motor in both simulation and real-time application usage. As the stator and rotor of a brushless direct current motor play a vital role in deciding the performance, they were designed and later the modeling was done for the same using MATLAB and Simulink and the results are then compared to the experimental setup made for the torque measurement at corresponding speed, currents, and voltages.
