Cost reduction requires lowering number of power devices used in the converter driving SRM. This is quite feasible in SRM drive systems than in other drive systems. This paper deals with design, analysis, and simulation of such a novel two phase SRM. A novel two phase SRM has high performance, self-starting capability, high efficiency, and low manufacturing cost. Additionally, the stator back iron does not experience any flux reversal as the flux is in the same direction whether phase A or B is excited leading to a greater reduction in core losses. The magnetic analysis and design considerations of the novel two phase SRM have been obtained by the finite element analysis (FEM). Experimental verification of the machine design is provided to correlate with analysis and simulation studies.

In this paper, a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) employed in an electric vehicle (EV) is designed using the finite element method (FEM). The static torque of the SRM is estimated through magnetic field analysis. The SRM temperature rise over operation time is estimated through heat transfer analysis. First, static torque and temperature rise over the time of 600W SRM is included in the experiment set, and are compared with the calculated results using the FEM under the same conditions. The validity of the magnetic field analysis and heat transfer analysis is verified by the comparisons. In addition, a 60 [kW] SRM employed in an EV, whose output characteristics are equal to a 1500 [cc] gasoline engine, is designed under magnetic field analysis and heat transfer analysis.

SRM is designed to meet operating standards such as low cost, simple magnetic structure, a desired operating speed range, high efficiency, high performance, and good matching for DC power. The magnetic flux of SRM is independent of its direction to develop a torque and it allows the flexible characteristics of the magnetic structure for SRM. In this paper, SRM can widely classify two types, Radial-Flux SRM and Axial-Flux SRM, according to the flux direction. Radial-Flux SRM includes Conventional, Segmented stator and rotor, and Double stator SRM, etc. and Axial-Flux SRM includes C-core stator and the Axial-airgap SRM. This paper is subjected the basic characteristics to select the best of the magnetic structure of SRM in the appropriate application by the classification of SRM.

Single-phase SRM is cost competitive because it can reduce the number of switches for small, low-cost applications. However, since the single-phase SRM is difficult to start itself, methods for realizing self-starting by using auxiliary magnet or auxiliary pole have been studied. Recently, a method of self-starting by changing the shape of the rotor with a saturable area has been proposed. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the magnetic structure of single phase 6/6 SRM with a saturable rotor and to improve the magnetic structure of rotor with a saturable area. For this magnetic analysis, FLUX2D, a finite element method analysis program, was used.

The intrinsic simplicity, ruggedness, and simple power electronic drive requirement of a Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) make it possible to use in many commercial adjustable speed application. The simple magnetic circuit results in a high efficiency drive and low temperature rise, and the drive system provides a good drive characteristics. This paper is provides two phase 4/3 SRM that is similar to two phase 6/3 SRM as aspect to magnetic structure. Although 6/3 SRM does not experience any flux reversal as the flux is in the same direction whether phase A or B is excited, but two phase 4/3 SRM experiences a flux reversal in small part of stator yoke. The flux reversal in two phase 4/3 SRM could be relieved by an adjustment of stator yoke structure. The magnetic analysis and design considerations of the two phase 4/3 SRM have been obtained by the finite element method analysis (FEM).

In this paper the characteristic analysis of a single-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive system with power factor correction (PFC) circuit is presented. The SRM is a low cost, simple and has a good high speed performance. The SRM drive with diode rectifier and filter capacitor has a low power factor because of short switch on time of capacitor. A novel switching topologic is presented to improve power factor and reduce torque ripple based on analysis of PFC circuit. Accordingly the SRM drive system with PFC circuit is also presented. Through the numerical analysis of the system, the toque ripple, power factor and efficiency with the change of rotary speed, load torque and capacity of the capacitor are achieved and compared with actual measured value.

This paper presents a circuit analysis and cotnrol example of favored configuration 6/4 SRM. SRM modeling and analysis are necessary for experiment. Thus this paper proposes a SRM modeling with PI controller (of driving converter) input voltage chopping and inductance profile when rotor position transformed. Through this simulation the designer can predict operating states of systems over a broad range of operating conditions.

This paper presents the design results and characteristic analysis of SRM. For vehicle power supply for adaptable design of the SRM, variable design parameters, such as stator and rotor laminations, winding details, pole numbers, and pole arcs, phases numbers are required. So, in this paper the SRM design results and the comparison of characteristics for vehicle power supply as phases changed are described.

This paper presents the performance and efficiency of a drive system incorporating a switched-reluctance motor (SRM) with input power factor correction (PFC). The proposed system consists of a PFC, bi-directional converter, an inverter, and a SRM operating as based voltage source drives (VSD). First, theoretical analysis is made for each identified mode of operation in the drive system. This is followed by comparing the performance of the SRM drive system with and without a PFC circuit. The losses are also calculated for both systems and overall efficiency. Experimental results are presented to prove the theoretical analysis.
