electric and hybrid electric vehicles are attractive candidates for sustainable transportation due to its higher efficiency and low emission. the critical choice on the electric motors is its capability of motoring and regenerative braking characteristics. switched reluctance machines are viable candidate as with proper control and extended constant power range operation replacing the multi-gea...

This paper explores the theory and potential of a family of reluctance motors as well as brief review of different types of reluctance motors, motivated by the increased demands for geometric versatility and ruggedness for electric motors. This paper presents a new and novel disc type reluctance motor that has been designed built, tested, and analyzed. The magnetic circuit-based analysis shows ...

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are increasingly popular machines in electrical drives, whose performances are directly related to their operating condition. Their dynamic characteristics vary as condition change. Recently, several methods of modelling of the magnetic saturation of SRMs have been proposed. However, the SRM is nonlinear and cannot be adequately described by such models. Artifi...

The design preciseness, the material used in productivity plus the time are coming the most important factors in motor manufacturing. Consequently, the use of interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPM) in hybrid vehicle seemed to be the best demands. However, and due to the earth magnet materials increasing prices such as Dysprosium and Neodymium, automobile manufacturers have looked ...
