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...

This paper presents a rotor position estimation technique for a 6/4 switched reluctance machine based on Adaptive Neuro fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). This technique is applied for modelling the nonlinear rotor position of SRM using the magnetization characteristics of the machine. ANFIS has a strong nonlinear approximation ability which could be used for nonlinear modelling and its real time ...

This paper presents sensorless rotor position estimation of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) where the position is to be determined by Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The rotor position sensing is very essential for the SRM for its efficient operation. Previously rotor position sensors are used to estimate the position of rotor for SRM. Due to its drawback the sensors have to be r...

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...

-The Switched reluctance machine (SRM) can be operated as a motor/generator which is the subject of interest by many researchers in the field of electrical machines for the last few decades. Many research papers have concluded that Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) has proved to be a valid alternative to the classical generators in many industrial applications especially in the field of wind ...

This paper presents analysis and comparative study of a novel high-torque three-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) with magnetically isolated stator segments. In the proposed SRM, each segment has a concentric winding located on the center body of it and two diametrically opposite windings which form the motor phase. There are four salient poles in the stator segment. Two of them share their...

This paper describes the design and modeling procedure of a novel 5-phase segment type switched reluctance motor (ST-SRM) under simultaneous two-phase (bipolar) excitation of windings. The rotor cores of ST-SRM are embedded in an aluminum block as well as to improve the performance characteristics. The magnetic circuit of the produced ST-SRM is constructed so that the magnetic flux paths are sh...

In the present study, position estimation of switched reluctance motor (SRM) has been achieved on the basis of the artificial neural networks (ANNs). The ANNs can estimate the rotor position without using an extra rotor position sensor by measuring the phase flux linkages and phase currents. Flux linkage-phase current-rotor position data set and supervised backpropagation learning algorithm are...

Introduction Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) have several advantages (rotor simplicity, high speed operation, ease of repairing, high degree of independence between phases, short end-turn, and low inertia) and used for aerospace systems, marine propulsion systems, linear drives, mining drives, hand held tools and home utility applications. However, a major disadvantage of SRM is vibration pro...
