(Abstract) Single phase switched reluctance machines (SRMs) have a special place in the emerging high-volume, low-cost and low-performance applications in appliances and also in high-speed low-power motor drives in various industrial applications. Single phase SRMs have a number of drawbacks: low power density as they have only 50% utilization of windings, lack of self-starting feature unless o...

Since torque ripple is the main cause of noise and vibrations, the performance of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) can be improved by minimizing its torque ripple using a novel control technique called Direct Torque Control (DTC). In DTC technique, torque is controlled directly through control of magnitude of the flux and change in speed of the stator flux vector. The flux and torque are maintai...

This project presents an online lossminimization algorithm (LMA) for a fuzzy-logiccontroller (FLC)-based interior permanent-magnet synchronous-motor (IPMSM) drive to yield high efficiency and high dynamic performance over a wide speed range. LMA is developed based on the motor model. In order to minimize the controllable electrical losses of the motor and thereby maximize the operating efficien...

This paper presents an electric drive system whose motor is connected to a battery by means of a buck DC/DC converter. This motor is further connected to an ultracapacitor by means of a boost DC/DC converter. First, operation and break processes are studied when the converters are switched off as well as when they are switched on in current limitation mode. Then, a comparative analysis of the r...

Abstract This paper describes the performance of a Solar PV-powered switched reluctance motor with low torque ripple in electric vehicle applications. The prominence motors has become significant industry, because its ineradicable characteristics like simple structure, absence rotor windings, less maintenance and self-starting capability. However, limitation SRM is high nonlinear characteristic...
