A drivetrain scheme of electric vehicles using switched reluctance motors with torque ripple reduction

This paper presents a drivetrain scheme with torque ripple reduction, in which two switched reluctance motors are coupled mechanically in cascade. The proposed scheme enables the shaft torque ripple of switched reluctance motors reduced. The simulation and experimental results testify the proposed scheme. The steady-state and dynamic performances of the drivetrain system are demonstrated and can be used as the platform research. Hence, this paper provides a valuable drivetrain scheme for electric vehicles. It also provides the method for new traction drive propulsion.
