Abstract

The Electrical Variable Transmission (EVT) is a brand new type of electromechanical converter with double-rotor structure, which can replace the gearbox, clutch, starter and generator in a vehicle. This paper deals with the design principles of EVT. Based on the proposed design principles, an induction EVT prototype was designed, built and tested; this EVT is aimed for light-duty car application. In order to achieve higher power density, the outer rotor´s yoke is decreased. Both simulation and experiment have been carried out to analyze the Magnetic Flux Coupling (MFC) for this EVT.
