This paper presents a calculating method for inductance of the Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) for torque characteristics and driving by analytical model. The approaches for calculating inductance have taken vary from detailed finite element analysis(FEA) and Fitting method in magnetization curves using complex nonlinear magnetic circuit models. But those methods have not satisfactory approach for machine performance calculations, because of having a long time and remodeling for analyses, therefore thus an alternative approach is required. So it is suggested simply calculating method of the inductance based on designed data of machinery by analytical model in unaligned and aligned rotor. In order to prove the calculating, there are compare with analytical FEM, direct measurement, this method, and simulation. The compared result is shown to obtain good accuracy.

In this paper, a novel 12/8 segmental rotor type switched reluctance motor (SRM) is proposed. Different from conventional structures, the proposed rotor consists of a series of discrete segments, and the stator is constructed from two types of stator poles: exciting and auxiliary poles. Moreover, in this structure short flux paths are taken and no flux reverse exists in the stator. While the auxiliary poles are not wound by the windings, which only provide the flux return path. Compared with conventional 12/8 SRM, the proposed structure increases the electrical utilization of the machine and decreases the core losses, which may lead to high efficiency. To verify the proposed structure, finite element method (FEM) is employed to get static and dynamic characteristics. Finally, a prototype of the proposed motor is tested for characteristics comparisons.

This paper describes a robust adaptive sliding mode control (RASMC) for torque ripple minimization of switched reluctance motor (SRM) using it in automotive application. The objective is to control effort smoothness while the system is under perturbations by unstructured uncertainties, unknown parameters and external disturbances. The control algorithm employs an adaptive approach to remove the need for prior knowledge within the bound of perturbations. This is suitable for tackling the chattering problem in the sliding motion of sliding mode control method. The algorithm then incorporates modifications in order to build a chattering-free modified robust adaptive sliding mode control using Lyapunov stability theory.

In this paper, an optimal method for determining design parameters of a Switched Reluctance Motor is researched. The dominant design parameters are stator and rotor pole arc and switching on and off angle. The parameters affecting performance are examined and selected using evolutionary computations and commercial CAD program. The simulated design method is compared with conventional procedure.

Disk type single phase switched reluctance motor which is a simple robust construction, simple control circuit and low manufacturing cost, has a characteristics of axial and radial flux machines. However, because this DSPSRM has a complicated magnetic circuit, it is difficult to analyze the design characteristics.. In this study, the calculation of design parameter based on the conventional design theory of electric machine and the characteristics analysis by computer simulation was performed. As the DSPSRM has the characteristics of both AFM and RFM, it is difficult to analyze its characteristics by the 2D FEM. 3D FEM was applied in the analysis of energy distribution and approximated calculation of torque characteristics with rotor positions. With analysis results, prototype of DSPSRM is manufactured.

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 paper, the design and performance analysis of switched reluctance motor(SRM) according to the design parameters are researched for a traction drive. The parameters which are sensitive to the performance are examined and selected to have good performances. For the high performance of traction drive, some effective guide lines to have a good performance motor are suggested. The prototype machine is constructed to compare with the simulated and tested for the comparison of design results.

A novel kind of switched reluctance motor (SRM) with short flux path is proposed in this paper. Phase excitation in the SRM gives short flux paths, hence reducing the magnetomotive force required to drive the machine, resulting in significant reduction of copper wire and core losses compared to the typical SRM with diametric circulation of magnetic flux. To verify the performance, the characteristics analysis of a double stator SRM, a 6/5 SRM with C-core structure and a 4/5 two-phase SRM which all composed of short flux path and a comparison with conventional SR motors are executed.

This paper presents a new motor design well suited for an advanced exercise bike. The advanced exercise bike setup high demands for performance and physical dimensions, which is high torque, wide speed range and a diameter/length ratio around 5. These requirements makes the new motor design called an E-core Transverse Flu Machine (ETFM) vev interesting because the segmented design of the stator and rotor poles enables high diameter without increasing the flux-path and since the ETFM is similar to the switched reluctance motor, high torque and wide speed range is possible. The design of the ETFM can be peformed using a developed design program, which is also introduced in the paper. A prototype of the exercise bike with the ETFM and a classical H-bridge converter with analog current control is constructed for verification of the concept.

A ZVT (zero voltage transition) converter for SRM (switched reluctance motor) drives is proposed in this study. By adding a ZVT-chopping switch in the front-end, all switches in the machine side converter can be operated without any chopping to regulate phase current. This allows the use of low-cost and slow-switching devices for the machine side converter. The ZVT circuitry allows high frequency operation of th echopping switch, which enhnaces the system dynamcis and phase-current ripples. High efficiency of th eintegrated converter is obtained due to low switching losses.
