Abstract
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are gaining interest because of the sky rocketing oil prices and increased pollution level in major cities across the world. Almost all EV motors need rare earth magnet which are in limited supply. In order to reduce this dependency, EVs are looking for magnet free motors. One of the alternatives gaining significant mindshare across industry is Switched Reluctance motor (SRM). SRM largely satisfies all the requirements of EV. However, its performance is mainly dependent on converter and controller topology. This paper critically analyses the various parameter of SRM during dynamic loading condition like speed, torque ripple and current, using various converter topologies. Analysis of 60 kW, 4 phase SRM for EV application has been presented with mid-point converter and asymmetric bridge converters along with the proportional plus integral (PI) hysteresis controller. Results shows that asymmetric bridge converter provides enhanced performance for EV application. © 2022
