Abstract: This study examines the integration of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) with renewable energy sources, focusing on solar photovoltaic (SPV) arrays to improve efficiency and sustainability in electric vehicle (EV) applications. PMSM, renowned for its high efficiency, silent operation, and precise control, is managed using a proportional-integral (PI) controller to handle variable load conditions, including fluctuations in torque and current. By fine-tuning the PI controller’s gains, the desired motor speed is achieved efficiently. A DC-DC Buck-Boost converter serves as an intermediary power conditioning unit, optimizing energy extraction from the SPV array and enhancing system efficiency. This setup ensures that PMSM meets the power and operational demands of EVs. Additionally, a voltage source inverter (VSI) facilitates electronic commutation of the PMSM, providing accurate control using fundamental frequency pulses. The system is modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrating its reliability under diverse load conditions. The findings underscore the potential of this approach in promoting renewable energy integration in EVs, paving the way for cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions.
