In this paper, a novel type of hybrid reluctance motor (HRM) drive is presented. This new motor is characterized by a stator formed by a combination of independent magnetic structures, each one composed of an electromagnet, the magnetic core with one or several coils wound on it, associated with a permanent magnet disposed between their poles. The rotor has the same configuration of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) without any coil, magnets, or squirrel cage. A particular case of this HRM, with three electromagnets with permanent magnets in the stator and five salient poles in the rotor, is studied. The motor is then analyzed and simulated. Finally, experimental results are given, and this type of motor drive is compared with the SRM drives of the same size. This new type of HRM does not present cogging torque and has higher power and efficiency than an SRM of the same size.Postprint (published version
The purpose of this paper is to provide an analytical approach to the thermal behavior of a longitudinal flux flat linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) suitable for the early stages of motor design. The approach uses a thermal model based on lumped parameters and adapted to the particularities of LSRMs. The thermal network is solved using the widely recognized Matlab-Simulink software. The proposed analytical approach was verified by means of experimental measurements and thermographic analysis.

INTRODUCTION INEAR Switched Reluctance Motors (LSRMs) are becoming attractive candidates for use as linear drives for several reasons: they only have concentrated windings on the stator or translator; they are ruggedly built; they have low expected manufacturing costs; and they have good fault-tolerance capability [1]. LSRMs can be classified as either transverse flux or longitudinal flux. With transverse flux, the plane that contains the flux lines is perpendicular to the line of movement. Reference [2] presents a design procedure for transverse flux LSRMs. In longitudinal flux, the plane that contains the flux lines is parallel to the line of movement. Reference [3] describes a design procedure for longitudinal flux LSRMs. Other types of longitudinal flux LSRMs are presented in [4], with coupled flux paths, and in [5] with uncoupled flux paths for a magnetic levitation system. Reference [6] analyzes a high-force longitudinal flux Φ double-sided double-translator LSRM. Recently, longitudinal LSRMs have been proposed for applications such as precise motion control [7] [8] and as propulsion systems for railway vehicles [9] or for vertical elevators [10] [11] [12]. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analytical approach to the thermal behavior of LSRMs suitable for preliminary motor design. The study focuses on doublesided longitudinal flux LSRMs for high-force density applications. Therefore, transverse LSRMs are beyond the scope of this study. The thermal analysis of electric rotating machines has been extensively described in the literature [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] but up to now little attention has been devoted to the thermal analysis of LSRMs [19]. It is important to point out that the thermal modeling of LSRMs presents considerable particularities. First, LSRMs are open structures, so heat can transfer in all directions. Second, the movement of the transl...
Herein is described an environmental and life cycle cost (LCC) analysis of one switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive and two inverter-fed induction motor (IM) drives. The two types of drives are compared based on critical reasoning, and European Commission (EC) Regulation 640/2009 is considered. Environmental impact and LCC were evaluated according the Methodology for the Ecodesign of Energy-Using Products and accounting different operation conditions. The SRM drive was found to have less environmental impact than were the IM drives.
