The Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) processes great application potential in In-Wheel Motor (IWM) electric vehicles (EV). However the problem of vibration and noise is always a disadvantage of this kind of motor. By utilizing the analytical Fourier fitting method, a convenience method for modeling In-Wheel Switched Reluctance Motor (IW SRM) is proposed for EV applications. And the negative vibr...

This paper presents the effects of fixture dynamics on the control of a variable-reluctance spherical motor (VRSM). The cascaded VRSM dynamics has the appropriate structure for the so-called back-stepping controller design method. Implementation of the back-stepping controller, however, requires the computation of the exact motor dynamics at each sampling time. This computational burden has an ...

Abstract: The switched reluctance motor drives has evolved as an alternative to conventional motors in variable speed drives because of advantages like simple and rugged structure, absence of rotor winding, adaptability to harsh environments like coal mining, high speed operation etc. Because of nonlinearity, torque ripple is high in the motor. This paper presents a high dynamic control techniq...

This paper presents a position sensorless closed loop control of a switched reluctance linear motor. The aim of the proposed control is to damp the position of the studied motor. Indeed, the position oscillations can harm some applications requiring high position precision. Moreover, they can induce the linear switched reluctance motor to an erratic working. The proposed control solution is bas...

This paper presents the design, and simulation of a soft switched boost converter for a switched reluctance motor with a closed loop controller. A soft switching scheme is proposed in the converter with minimum components, which reduces the switching loss and stress across the switch so that the harmonic generation is reduced in the output. The switch used in this converter switched ON at zero ...

drives are designed to increase product performance and system efficiency. One such motor type which can benefit from digital control is the switched reluctance (SR) motor. The SR motor brings advantages in both cost and reliability over other types of adjustable speed drives. These include its simple mechanical construction, high efficiency and high power density. On the other hand, large torq...

The combination of a 16 inch Pitot tube pump with a switched reluctance motor represents a significant development in the field of high-pressure pumping. A field proven Pitot tube pump design has been mechanically integrated with a high performance switched reluctance motor. The resulting system is approximately 40 percent of the size of the standard unit it replaces. The closecoupled pump elim...
