A variable reluctance machine (VRM) has been proven to be an outstanding candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications. This paper introduces a new double-stator, 12/14/12-pole three-phase hybrid-excited modular variable reluctance machine (MVRM) for EV applications. In order to demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed structure, the static torque characteristics and dynamic performance...

Shaft position sensing is an essential part of switched reluctance (SR) motor drive In order to synchronize the pulses of phase current with the period of rising inductance of the proper motor phase. Direct sensors such as, Hall effect and optical encoder are commonly used in SR motors. The purpose of this paper is to present an indirect shaft positioning sensing known as "sensorless " control ...

It was recently presented that the Reluctance Synchronous Motor (RSM) is well suited for variable gear electric as well as for hybrid electric vehicles. This paper deeply investigates the capabilities of a Reluctance Synchronous Motor and proposes a multi parameter estimation scheme for Reluctance Synchronous Motor under variable-speed control. The proposed control evaluation model is fully eff...

The switched reluctance motors had gained more attention among the variable speed drives due to its inherent simplicity and low cost. It is an electronically commutated motor and need to be driven from a converter. The excitation of the different phases of the converter is dependent on the rotor position. This paper presents the simulation of the open loop control of a 6/4 switched reluctance m...

Switched reluctance motor drive system has greatly practical value in electric vehicle applications. For the characteristics of switched reluctance motor and electric vehicle application requirements, how to reduce the torque ripple effectively and ensure its average output torque, all these become a hot spot of research. Based on this, first of all, the nonlinear model of switched reluctance m...
