High performance PM synchronous motor drive for an electrical scooter

In this paper, the design of a full electrical system for an electrical scooter is presented. The paper explains the design choices that have been done to satisfy the typical main requirements for an electrical vehicle. According to them, an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor has been incorporated in a drive able to control the motor both in the constant torque (constant flux) and in the constant volt-ampere (flux-weakening) regions. Experimental results carried out on a system prototype are also included in the final paper
