Control of Modified Switched Reluctance Motor for EV Applications

Environmental pollution and energy shortages are increasingly an issue due to the large number of main stream automobiles with internal combustion engines (ICEs). Electric vehicles (EV) are a great way to save resources and deliver zero-emission automobiles by limiting the energy source. As a result, it is critical to choose the right one. Many types of electric motors have been tested and assessed for electric vehicles in recent decades. Switched reluctance machines (SRMs) are now garnering scientific interest due to their numerous benefits. Because their windage and friction losses are equivalent, they run at a higher overall efficiency than an induction motor with the same rating. Due to the machine's dual salient construction and sequential excitation, torque pulsations are a natural feature of SRMs. In this work, by altering the SRM by adding a stator that looks like a switching reluctance motor's stator and a rotor that looks like a Brushless DC Motor's rotor makes a hybrid motor. This hybrid motor gives better speed range; lower current ripple and lower torque ripple there by reducing machine vibrations by comparing SRM motor. By using MATLAB software, the system has been verified.
