Abstract:
Though e-motorbikes comprise a considerable proportion of electric vehicles (EVs), it's drive-train design is rarely presented in the literature. This paper focuses on reviewing the important design considerations for drive-train inverters of next-generation e-motorbikes. A compilation of state-of-the-art e-motorbikes' specifications reveals that the inverter requirements are diverse in terms of power with a thrust towards enhanced efficiency and power density. A review of the power-electronic design of this inverter is presented to elicit the topology choices, battery-pack design based on DC-link voltage choice, as well as the benefits of using new wide-bandgap devices and latest ceramic capacitors. An overview of the inverter's cooling system design shows the merits of liquid-cooling for compact inverter design.
