This paper presents simulation results for three phase, 6/4 poles and four phase, 8/6 poles switched reluctance motor (SRM). The main focus of this paper is to investigate the dynamic performance of switched reluctance (SR) motors. This investigation is achieved through simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC).

This paper is carried out to develop a theoretical model for the simulation of 8/6-pole and 6/4-pole switched reluctance motors and describes the difference of these kinds of motors in dynamic characteristics such as magnetic field energy, magnetic field coenergy, magnitude of By, magnetization losses, steady-state weighted stress tensor torque, mutual inductance and so in performance. As known...

Nelson, Andrew Lincoln: Characterization of Winding Faults in Axial Flux Reluctance Motors in the Context of Electric Vehicle Propulsion Systems. (Under the direction of Dr. Mo-Yuen Chow.) Since the late 1980’s there has been a major resurgence in electric vehicle propulsion research and development. This trend has been stimulated by various factors, including rising fossil fuel costs, environm...
