 Abstract

This thesis is about the simulation of the permanent magnet motors of the Nuna Solar Car in order to find their fundamental motor parameters. These parameters can then be used in a Field-Oriented control algorithm to be used in a new motorcontroller for the team. A finite element analysis is done on the two current motors of the Nuna solar car, a radial flux Mitsuba motor and an axial flux Marand motor, with the intend to
find the fundamental motor parameters, the phase resistance, the inductance and the motor constant.
The model is presented and the simulation results are discussed. Also some variations to the current design have been made to test the adaptability of the simulation. Also some work is done to simulate the
entire drive system of the car.
