Abstract

The current technology for PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) drive controllers in electric go-karts focuses on achieving high efficiency, precise torque control, and superior performance. Modern PMSM drive controllers utilize advanced FOC techniques to ensure smooth operation and optimal speed-torque characteristics under dynamic driving conditions. This research focuses on the design and development of a PMSM drive controller for an electric go-kart, utilizing advanced simulation tools such as RMxprt (1D) and Maxwell (2D). The study begins with the modeling and analysis of the PMSM using RMxprt to optimize motor parameters and achieve accurate performance predictions. Subsequently, Maxwell 2D is employed for detailed electromagnetic field analysis, ensuring optimal torque, power density, and efficiency under varying load conditions. A custom drive controller is developed to regulate the PMSM, focusing on FOC for precise torque and speed control. The controller is designed to handle dynamic driving conditions, ensuring smooth acceleration, energy-efficient operation, and superior responsiveness. Simulation results validate the proposed controller’s effectiveness, demonstrating improved torque output, reduced energy losses, and enhanced driving performance for the go-kart. This integrated approach showcases the potential of PMSM drive systems in sustainable and high-performance electric go-kart.
