This paper presents simulation results for three phase, 6/4 poles and four phase, 8/6 poles switched reluctance motor (SRM). The main focus of this paper is to investigate the dynamic performance of switched reluctance (SR) motors. This investigation is achieved through simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC).

Double-stator switched reluctance machines have higher torque density and lower vibration and acoustic noise level in comparison with conventional switched reluctance machines. Static characteristics of a 8/6 Double-stator switched reluctance machine have already calculated using finite element method. However, no measurement has been presented for the static torque of the machine. This paper p...

Switched Reluctance (SR) Motor Drive is of great topical interest. It has the potential lo emerge as a viable option for variable speed applications. Though simple in construction, the motor is quite rugged, and has many attractive /eatures like high torque-to-inertia ratio, fault tolerance, and high eficiency. A number of converter topologies are prescribed for driving the motor. However, its ...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) is an energy converter that converts an electrical energy to mechanical energy in motoring operation and vice-versa in generating operation. When the rotor is out of alignment, the inductance is very low and the current also increase rapidly. The rotor is aligned with the stator then the inductance become very large. In the simulation results, how the rotor minim...

Electric and hybrid electric vehicles are attractive candidates for sustainable transportation due to its higher efficiency and low emission. The critical choice on the electric motors is its capability of motoring and regenerative braking characteristics. Switched reluctance machines are viable candidate as with proper control and extended constant power range operation replacing the multi-gea...

The linear and non-linear math models of the switched reluctance generator (SRG) in generator mode were established in this work. The phase current and energy conversion process during generator operation were simulated by the linear math model. The non-linear math model was used to analyze the characteristics of the SRG operation in self-excitation mode and in separately-excitation mode. Some ...
