The drive train design, modelling, and control of an electric vehicle powered by a five-phase induction motor (FPIM) using drive cycle based data are presented in this study. For an Electric Vehicle (EV) to operate more smoothly, safely, dependably, and without interruption, the choice of motor and control system is essential. Depending on the driving circumstances, a given motor may behave differently. An urban or suburban region's drive cycle represents its driving pattern. Five phase induction machines have many advantages like, higher torque density, fewer torque ripples, fault tolerance, and a lower inverter switch rating. Therefore, the use FPIM as the propulsion drive is a potent solution for electric vehicles, where the main concerns of the drive selection like public safety, continuity of operation under fault, and overall high system reliability can be meet at a reasonable cost. The reference speed for the propulsion drive's closed-loop control is produced by the urban Indian drive cycle. The three-wheel auto rickshaw's FPIM-based propulsion drive is controlled by the rotor field-oriented control (RFOC) approach combined with the sine PWM control (SPWMC) methodology. The MATLAB/SIMULINK environment is used to model the full electric car drive system, and performance analysis of the different machine and vehicle parameters is presented.
