Abstract
This article reviews integration approaches and, by employing finite element analysis (FEA), compares thermal management solutions for the combined electric motor and power electronics systems for electric vehicles. Integration of power electronics into the electric motor helps achieve higher power densities in the electric traction drive systems. The benefit of integration from the thermal management perspective is the potential for using a single-fluid loop instead of two separate cooling systems for the electric machine and the power electronics/inverter.
