The Effect of Increases in User Weight and Road Slope on Energy Consumption in Disabled Vehicle Driven with PMSM

In this study, the effect of increases in user weight and road slope on energy consumption (Wh/km) value of a disabled vehicle driven with permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) was investigated. In order to digitize this effect, a test system consisting of a data reading card and an interface program prepared in Visual C # was developed. In this way, information about the disabled vehicle and the road was collected instantly during the test process and visualized in the interface. Then experimental studies were carried out on two roads with different slopes with users of different weights. Finally, by using the obtained results, the effect of increases in road slope and user weight on the energy consumption of the vehicle was demonstrated by numerical data. By using these results, the numerical simulations of battery-operated disabled vehicles can be calibrated and much more realistic simulation results can be obtained in future studies.
