“…Equation ( 3) is widely used in the initial design of SRMs. 54,55 After the calculation of the main structural parameters of SRMs, the optimal design of SRMs is needed to seek the best parameters. However, due to the double salient poles structure of SRMs, the accurate model of SRMs is hard to establish.…”

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) provide a potential candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications due to rigid structure, potentially low production cost, the absence of permanent magnets, excellent power-speed characteristics, and high reliability and robustness. This paper aims to review the current research on the design, winding topologies, converter topologies, and control methods of switched reluctance motors (SRMs). Torque ripple and vibration are the main drawbacks of SRMs, which constrain their application. To conquer these drawbacks, multi-phase SRMs (MSRMs), optimum structure, and control methods of SRMs have been utilized over the past decades. In this paper, MSRMs with multiple combinations of stator/rotor poles and winding arrangements are investigated. Different converter topologies are compared, and a full-bridge converter is suitable for SRMs used in EVs. Torque sharing function, direct torque control, and direct instantaneous torque control are the main control methods to reduce the torque ripple of SRMs, which have been comprehensively summarized.

The design of switched reluctance motor (SRM) is considered a complex problem to be solved using conventional design techniques. This is due to the large number of design parameters that should be considered during the design process. Therefore, optimization techniques are necessary to obtain an optimal design of SRM. This paper presents an optimal design methodology for SRM using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) optimization technique. Several dimensions of SRM are considered in the proposed design procedure including stator diameter, bore diameter, axial length, pole arcs and pole lengths, back iron length, shaft diameter as well as the air gap length. The multi-objective design scheme includes three objective functions to be achieved, that is, maximum average torque, maximum efficiency and minimum iron weight of the machine. Meanwhile, finite element analysis (FEA) is used during the optimization process to calculate the values of the objective functions. In this paper, two designs for SRMs with 8/6 and 6/4 configurations are presented. Simulation results show that the obtained SRM design parameters allow better average torque and efficiency with lower iron weight. Eventually, the integration of NSGA-II and FEA provides an effective approach to obtain the optimal design of SRM.

“…In order to reduce the torque/force ripple of RSRMs/SRLMs, many dedicated motor design techniques [11,12] and advance control strategies [13][14][15] have been proposed. The simplest motor design technique for torque/force ripple reduction is to increase the phase number [16,17]. Machines with a higher phase number also show better fault tolerance capacity.…”

This study presents comparative researches on performances of a double‐sided switched reluctance linear machine (DSRLM) under different winding connection modes. The static self/mutual inductances of a 6/4 yokeless DSRLM under two winding connection modes are calculated through the finite element method (FEM). This DSRLM can work either as a motor or as a generator. Now the performances of the DSRLM under different winding connection modes, including the force ripple in the electric model and the output voltage ripple in generation model, are compared through an established electric model and an established generation model. In addition, the iron losses under different winding connections are also investigated. Dynamic magnetic flux density waveforms of the DSRLM are calculated via FEM, and an iron loss computation module is established. Simulation results indicate that the advantages of both winding connections reflect in different aspects. This study summarises how to select a proper winding connection mode of DSRLMs for different performance demands responding to different applications. The experimental validations are conducted on a prototype DSRLM finally.
