A crucial aspect of this transformation involves the utilisation of induction motors, which presents its own set of challenges, especially in the efficient and rapid estimation of the motor’s parameters. The aim is to devise an algorithm that can generate torque and speed curves based on information available from the manufacturer. This approach is novel as the motors being tested are installed in the cars and not removed for any kind of testing. Dynamometer testing is used to compare the output of the algorithmwith real-life results.
