A new two-degree of freedom switched reluctance motor for electric vessel

This paper introduces a new 2-degree of freedom (2-DOF) switched reluctance motor for an electric vessel. The configuration, operation principle and algorithm of the new motor are described in detail. Moreover, the electromagnetic characteristics have been illustrated by using finite element method (FEM), and the simulation of the electric vessel also has been realized. A modified control method has been suggested as the control scheme to ensure innovation and stability of the electric vessel´s operation. Finally, the experimental results have suggested that the innovation and conveniences of the new electric vessel are better than that of conventional electric vessel, then the results of theoretical analysis and experiments has been proved the improvements of the electric vessel.
