The lab setup is designed to simulate a real-life electric vehicle system, using a 400V Lithium-ion battery bank, a DSP controlled Voltage Source Variable Frequency Drive, and an Induction Motor. The aim is to improve the efficiency and robustness of motor controllers and bridge the gap between theoretical work and real-life application. Various AC motor drive algorithms are tested, with high voltage battery parameters being taken into account. The lab setup closely monitors and analyzes temperature, current, voltage, and power draw values during and after each test run.
