The proposed structure is based on five-leg voltage source inverter (FLVSI) and two induction motors. The shared-leg switching-signals are selected by using a fuzzy logic controller in order to ensure an independent control of the two driving wheels. Indeed, the selection of the control sequence duration is performed based on the power demand and the load torque of each motor, Simulation results are carried out to confirm that both of IM is able to operate at different speeds with any load conditionenDirect torque control (DTC)Electric vehicle (EV)Five leg inverter (FLI)Fuzzy logic controller (FLC)A fuzzy logic approach based direct torque control and five-leg voltage source inverter for electric vehicle powertrainsArticle
