Abstract
This study proposes the speed control of an asynchronous motor (AM) using the
∞
Antiwindup
design. First, the conventional vector control based on proportional-integral (PI) controllers is
developed for a constant speed set point. Then, a driving cycle is based on measurements on the
Safi/Rabat motorway in Morocco using a microcontroller equipped with a GPS device. The collected
practical speed is used as a speed reference for conventional vector control. The
∞
/Antiwindup
controller of the direct rotor flow-oriented control is used to improve the performance of
conventional vector control and optimize the energy consumption of the drive train. The
effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by numerical simulation. The results of the
numerical validation of the proposed scheme showed good performance compared to conventional
vector control. The speed control systems are analyzed for different operating conditions. These
control strategies are simulated in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The simulation results
of the improved vector control of the Asynchronous Machine (AM) are used to validate this
optimization approach in the dynamic regime, followed by a comparative analysis to evaluate the
performance and effectiveness of the proposed approach. A practical model based on a
TMS320F28379D embedded board and its reduced voltage inverter (24V) is used to implement the
proposed method and verify the simulation results.

1- Introduction
Electric vehicles (EVs) have been considered a good vehicle choice for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However,
the relatively short range of most commercially available electric vehicles limits their efficiency. Before energy density
increases significantly, improving the overall powertrain efficiency of electric vehicles is a cost-effective and practical
way to increase their use. At the same time, electric vehicle powertrain efficiency reduces electrical energy consumption.
Multi-speed transmissions have been widely used in traditional internal combustion engine vehicles for two reasons:
Firstly, multi-speed transmissions provide better dynamic performance for vehicles (i.e., higher top speed, faster
acceleration, and smoother starting).
Secondly, they allow vehicles to operate at high efficiency through gear shifting, which reduces fuel consumption.
However, there are few electric vehicles with multi-speed transmissions [1].
In the context of the electric vehicle, research has been and is being carried out on the various parts of the powertrain.
Since the significant appearance of the electric vehicle, the DC machine has been the most widely used. One of the main
