Review of Optimum Design Approach of Switched Reluctance Motor Used for Electric Vehicle

Abstract

Switched reluctance Moto (SRM) has become one of the best choices for electric vehicle drive because it exhibits prominent advantages over other kinds of electric drive system. Nowadays, switched reluctance machines (SRM) are gaining interest in the scientific community due to the advantages they offer. The SRM offers an overall efficiency similar to an induction motor of the same rating, since the friction and windage losses are comparable. Many researchers have been done on SRMs, their related systems and challenges. This paper reviews the SRM structures, their advantages and disadvantages. Various SRM topologies are studied and their merits and limits are given. Additionally, the most common control strategies for SRM drives are categorized, which is followed by a summary of the researches on challenges in torque and vibration reduction.
