Review of the Modelling Methods of Series Wound DC Motors

Thanks to technological development and ever-increasing environmental regulations, electric and hybrid vehicles are playing an increasingly important role in road transport. An important part of these vehicles is the electric motor, several different types of which are utilized in modern vehicles. One of these types is the series wound DC motor. In this publication, we review the different modelling methods of the above motor type. On the basis of the models we can perform the simulation in MATLAB/Simulink environment. We also present the technical parameters and characteristics that are needed to run the simulation, and the measurement procedure for determining them. Finally, we present the measurement system we have developed for the measurement and testing the motors.
