Abstract

In electric vehicle (EV) applications, hybrid excitation of switched reluctance motors (HESRMs) are gaining popularity due to their advantages over other EV motors. The benefits include control flexibility, simple construction, high torque/power density, and the ability to operate over a broad speed range. However, modern HESRMs are constructed by increasing the air gap flux density with permanent magnets (PMs) in the excitation system in order to generate more electromagnetic torque. This study aims to investigate a new topology for increasing the torque capabilities of HESRM without the use of permanent magnets (PMs) or other rare-earth components. This paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of the static and dynamic characteristics, software analysis using the Ansys 2D finite element method (FEM), and an experimental demonstration of the real-time motor with an advanced control strategy in MATLAB/Simulink. Our simulation and experimental results for a machine with 12/8 poles and a machine rating of 1.2 kW indicate that the HESRM designed without PMs has greater torque capability and efficiency than the conventional SRM. The proposed HESRM without PMs has a high torque/power density and a higher torque per ampere across the entire speed range, making it suitable for EV applications.
