The modification of magnetic structures for an E-core switched reluctance machine (SRM) comprising two segmented stator cores or a monolithic stator core is presented for ease of assembly, good manufacturability, mechanical robustness, and electromagnetic performance improvement. The E-core stator has four small poles with phase windings and two or four large poles (hereafter referred to as common poles), in between. The common poles are shared by both phases for positive torque generation during the entire operation. The E-core SRMs are compared to a conventional two-phase SRM. The comparison includes cost savings, torque, copper and core losses, and efficiency in order to validate the distinct features of the E-core SRMs. Magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) technique is employed for proving the benefits of the E-core common-pole structure.

In this work a new configuration of E-core stator Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) with permanent magnets and auxiliary windings embedded in the stator yoke is proposed. For the proposed configuration of SRM electromagnetic analysis is performed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) based computer aided design package MagNet and to emphasize its merits a comparison is drawn with existing hybrid excitation configuration of SRM. In addition, the vibration characteristics of the motor are analyzed by performing modal and transient analysis using the ANSYS package. Results of the analysis reveals that the proposed configuration of SRM exhibits better electromagnetic and vibration characteristics and is capable of competing with the existing topologies in the variable speed market.

The SRM is a doubly salient, singly excited machine. The torque is developed by the tendency for the magnetic circuit to adopt a configuration of minimum reluctance, i.e. for the rotor to move into in line with the stator poles and to maximize the inductance of the coils excited. It is common practice to combine them into groups of poles which are excited simultaneously; for example, 8/6 SRM (8 stator poles and 6 rotor poles) for 4 phases, 6/4, 12/8 SRM for 3 phases, 4/2, 6/3 SRM for 2 phases. Small number of phases in two-phase SRMs allows more cost savings with regards to the switching devices in the converter. The stator back irons of two phase 6/3 SRM and C-core 4/3 SRM does not experience any flux reversal as the flux is in the same direction whether phase A or B is excited. In this study, the similarities, the differences, and structural characteristics between the two SRMs was studied, The magnetic analysis also has been carried out by the finite element method analysis (FEM).

Supplier relationship management (SRM) is an important contributor to a company's efficiency and credibility. Although several ways are used to provide SRM functionality, these are often not easily integrated with existing procurement systems. We designed and implemented a practical SRM system called BestChoice SRM and present its design and architecture. It has the core functionality of SRM with the simple adaptability of BestChoice which is a decision support system for evaluating suppliers with the aid of visualized analysis It allows seamless integration with existing systems and permits flexible strategy changes as market conditions shift. The key to this flexibility is template-based segmentation. Ease of integration was demonstrated through the installation of BestChoice SRM at a major Korean commercial e-procurement agency.
