Summary
In this paper, by using of the magnetic equivalent circuit method, an accurate model of a switched reluctance motor with respect to the traditional modeling is presented. This modeling is perfectly considered the magnetic saturation effects of iron core and space harmonic distribution of stator and rotor poles. The presented magnetic equivalent circuit model evaluated the motor performance in different situations with low time consumption properly. This method has less complexity for dynamic modeling of switched reluctance motor. Also, this modeling can be used for optimal designing of motor performance in various applications with high accuracy and precision. In this paper, the various sequence of phases excitations with different overlap between two adjacent phases voltages are evaluated to choose the appropriate excitation. Finally, the proposed magnetic equivalent method results are validated by comparing the corresponding finite element analysis. The simulations results confirmed the usefulness of the proposed model.
Summary
In this paper, a novel construction of an axial flux‐switched reluctance motor (AFSRM) is investigated. The main attribute of this construction focuses on a simple configuration, low cost, and the maximum electromagnetic torque. In facts, the new proposed motor incorporates the advantages of both the axial flux topology and the switched reluctance motor (SRM) to prepare the required performance in machine for electric vehicles (EV). Due to the axial flux machine (AFM) advantages and also due to the SRMs characteristics, cause to these topologies is considered as an attractive alternative in EV applications. In this paper, a perfect explanation and operating principles of a novel proposed AFSRM with short path of stator flux per pole are described. The design equations of AFSRM are presented, and finally, a 3‐D finite element model (FEM) of an AFSRM prototype is prepared for the verification of the proposed model.
