A Step-Sine Motor Controller for Electric Vehicle Applications
Storage of Energy • DC Batteries • Fuels
DC vs. AC Motors • Energy is stored as DC • AC is more efficient
AC Advantages • Increased power density • Easier to control • High torque • High speed • Small and Light

Example Implementation One way to generate a stair-step approximation is to connect several equal voltage battery section in series and attach them to a motor winding with a pair of multiplexer switch as illustrated in Figure 1. During the positive half cycle, switch B is connected to the bottom of the battery stack as Switch A is moved through the five steps {0-4}. During the negative half cycle, the roles of the two switches may be reversed.
Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages: Less heat per IGBT Lower harmonic content Potentially more efficient power transfer Disadvantages: More IGBT’s More Expensive Heavier Battery current misbalance
