A Review on Segmented Switched Reluctance Motors

The switched reluctance motor (SRM) benefits from its magnet-free nature, robust construction, low cost, flexible controls, and the ability to operate in harsh environments such as high temperatures pressure. It has received increasing attention for all-electric or multi-electric aircraft systems electric vehicles (EVs) compared with permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) other AC some required reliability fault tolerance applications. However, SRM is prone considerable wind resistance due convex pole structure of rotor during high-speed rotation, torque ripple, also vibration noise. Thus, it currently a trending topic develop special SRMs, tailored tolerance. Recent research demonstrates several promising feasible solutions reduce ripples enhance density power factors, including changing topology SRM, using advanced control methods, well different winding configurations. Among these options, segmented (SSRM), deformation conventional topology, shown be capable effectively optimizing performance. Motivated by this advance, paper aims present comprehensive literature review on SSRM, first illustrating development then providing description classification according SSRM. In particular, we focus evolution various kinds segmental improvement measures. Then, discuss performance, advantages, disadvantages types structures terms their electromagnetic aspects Eventually, future trends application prospects SSRM are prospected, aim shedding light further research. sum, key contribution provide valuable basis detailed analyses design that expected benefit
