The application of permanent magnet free motors have gained a huge attention for pure electric and hybrid electric vehicles. This paper proposed the design of 20-kW switched reluctance motor having 18 stator poles and 12 rotor poles by using finite element analysis machine design software Infolytica magnet and the main focus is to achieve the high speed, torque with adequate performance for electric vehicles. The asymmetric bridge converter has been used and the series of varying the excitation voltage, slot fill factor with respect to the number of turns and stranded area of the conductor has been analysed. Additionally, in order to the electromagnetic force vector, the switching sequence is examined. The simulation results show the great potential of the suggested motor and can provide a good starting torque with high speed and can be suitable to achieve the freedom Car 2020 electric vehicle target.

“…Since the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) offers a wide torque-speed range with high efficiency and power density, it is considered the first-choice traction motor, as opposed to the squirrel cage induction machine (SCIM). However, supply limitations and escalating rare-earth material prices for the PMSM forced the market to search for suitable alternatives [4]. The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a dark horse in this arena [5].…”

This paper proposes a new asymmetric neutral-point diode-clamped (NPC) multilevel converter for a four-phase switched reluctance motor drive. The inbuilt NPC clamping capacitors are used for both voltage level clamping and also as dc rail voltage-boosting capacitors to increase the output power of the motor, particularly for high-speed electric vehicle applications. The new converter allows regenerative energy to be recovered back to the dc supply for rapid machine braking, thus increasing overall drive efficiency. Analysis of the different modes of converter operation, along with design equations for sizing the voltage-boosting capacitors, are detailed. The effect of capacitance on boost voltage and increased motor base speed is presented. Simulation and experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

“…In the recent decades, the reluctance motors (switched reluctance) are welcomed regarding the robust structure of rotor, simple speed control, low cost, high reliability, and low maintenance requirements for many applications such as electrical transport, industrial, and even indoor applications. [1][2][3] Therefore, having a precise and detailed model for these motors is very essential to design and analyze their performance in different operating and error conditions. Likewise, increasing the accuracy and supplementing the presented models of the reluctance motors have become one of the major research approaches in recent years.…”

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.
