Three phase Induction motors especially multiphase motor drives has proved to be much efficient for high power drives application such as Electric vehicles/Hybrid Electric vehicles. In this paper a simulated Electric Vehicle (EV) with four-wheel-drive with Electronic Differential System (EDS) is presented. The Electric Vehicle (EV) is controlled with five phase induction motor and the EDS distributes torque and power to each in-wheel motor according to the requirements, adapts the speed of motor to the driving conditions and simulates the behavior of a differential. The working conditions including the condition of the vehicle with the constant speed, accelerating and decelerating are studied , and the control strategy of the EDS for the vehicle with four in-wheel motors is designed and simulated. The simulation with Matlab/Simulink is made and the results are verified with the rationality of the EDS controller, and proved that the system has more favorable dynamic performance.
