From page 15...
... Generally, this requirement translates into operating the motor with maximum flux until the base speec} is reachecI, followec} by flux weakening in the constant horsepower region. For battery-powere(1 vehicles, it is important to design the drive system to meet the high-speec3 operating point, because the voltage and the impedance of the motor limit the current and hence the torque procluced at high speeds.
From page 16...
... Induction motors lend themselves to flux weakening more easily than permanent magnet motors, but they are less efficient than PM motors for full-Ioac3 operation. For inflection motor strives, the maximum voltage point can coincicle with the base speed (point A in Figure 2-~)

... for applications having little or no constant horse power region of operation. PM synchronous reluctance motors with weak permanent magnets that depend on high reluctance torque offer wider CHP range but exhibit larger torque pulsations that are detrimental to the operation of the drive system.

... in electric motors, since they tend to operate at reasonably low switching frequencies so as to limit iron loss in the motors. Further improvement in efficiency can be obtained by the use of wiclebanc} gap materials (e.g., SiC; see Chapter 4)

... increase ripple current carrying capacity. DC/DC CONVERTERS Since a high voltage is procluced in the majority of hybrid power systems on vehicles, it becomes imperative to have a DC/DC converter to supply all the auxiliary loads on the vehicle.
