Abstract

High reliability, wide speed range capability, as well as competitive weight and efficiency combine to make the switched reluctance machine (SRM) a strong candidate for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) propulsion systems. A rated output power 50 kW, peak power 100 kW switched reluctance machine drive has been developed for a HEV passenger bus propulsion system. An improved 2-D finite element method (IFEM), in which the fringe flux at the ends of the core is counted, is introduced. In this paper the design of the SRM is described in detail. Specifications, IFEM analysis, simulation as well as experimental results are also presented.
