A novel control approach to design efficient speed controllers for Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drives based on fuzzy logic (FL) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques is investigated in this study. The PSO mechanism with the simple implementation and high efficiency is adopted to optimize five parameters, including three scaling factors of a PI-like FL architecture and two switchi...

Fuzzy logic or fuzzy set theory is recently getting increasing emphasis in process control applications. This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic control (FLC) for switched reluctance motor (SRM) speed. The (FLC) technique finds its stronger justification in the utilization of a robust control law to model uncertainties. A fuzzy logic controller of the motor speed is then designed and ...

This paper presents the design of a new axial-flux switched-reluctance motor (AFSRM) topology for in-wheel drive vehicle applications. The features of the topology include a short flux path and an outer-rotor configuration. The proposed topology also uses a sintered-lamellar soft magnetic composite core material, and permits displacement of the rotor along the suspension axis, which reduces dam...

In this method to obtain the rotor position of switched reluctance motor by means of resonant circuit method. The resonant circuit comprising of the motor and the power electronic converter, motor phase inductance and the parasitic capacitance of converter switches. F...

The electrification of loader designs can utilise several power motor types. Hence, this study investigates the operational performance pure electric-powered loaders matched with three types motors. Firstly, for ZL08 loader, it is proposed that a structure adopts two motors to drive walking and hydraulic systems separately. Secondly, dynamic parameters were matched, then, joint vehicle dynamics...

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...
