Latest ArticlesIn order to solve the electromagnetic noise issues of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) on Electric Vehicle (EV), this paper, based on its electromagnetic noise generation mechanism, proposed a way of reducing electromagnetic radial force by means of test verification to optimize its electromagnetic noise. From the 2 aspects of structural hardware and control strategy, the optimization and improvement were carried out by the verification and comparison approaches such as rotor segmented skew pole optimization, structural stiffness optimization and coupling resonance improvement, current harmonic injection and gap flux density optimization, and each optimization approach was illustrated with practical development case. The result shows that each method has an attenuation of at least 3 dB(A) on electromagnetic noise of PMSM, which further demonstrates the effect and advantage of improving electromagnetic noise by optimizing electromagnetic radial force though experimental means.
In order to improve the communication efficiency and security of Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork (VANET), this paper proposed an anonymous identity authentication and group key distribution scheme based on quantum key and blockchain. Anonymous credentials for vehicles were generated by a combination of random numbers on the vehicle side and random numbers in the cloud, which achieved privacy protection for the vehicle during authentication. The utilization of blockchain for secure distribution of group keys has been proposed, which reduced the computational overhead of the Quantum Secret Service platform and enabled vehicle revocation and traceability. A two-stage key generation method was devised to ensure the security and efficiency of group key distribution in various scenarios, as well as achieve forward and backward security. The signaling and computation overheads were calculated, the signaling overhead was reduced by nearly half. During the group key distribution process, the computational overhead at the vehicle was reduced by 44%, while the computational overhead at the roadside is approximately 20% of the overhead in the comparison scheme. The formal security analysis results proved the security and feasibility of this scheme.

A hierarchical control strategy based on Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) and Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) was proposed for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) queue. Firstly, the powertrain structure and mathematical model of PHEV were analyzed in detail, then a hierarchical control framework was constructed. The upper layer adopted RBFNN to train driving data derived from Model Predictive Control (MPC) to generate the speed tracking controller. According to the information of the speed and power demand transmitted from the upper layer, a Markov chain model was established for the lower layer controller, the Markov chain model can realize the optimal energy distribution between PHEV traction battery and the engine based on the SDP theory.
