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

Comparative analysis of converter topologies used in switched reluctance motor for high torque electric vehicle application

A different type of load draws non-sinusoidal current from the mains, degrading the power quality by causing harmonic distortion. These nonlinear loads appear to be prime sources of harmonic distortion in a power system. In addition, the harmonic currents produced by nonlinear loads can interact adversely with a wide range of power system equipment, most notably capacitors, transformers and motors, causing additional losses, overheating and overloading and interferences. The aim of this paper is to review an active power filter that commonly used to mitigate harmonics. Thus, to solve this harmonics problems The system is verified by simulation using Matlab/Simulink simulation package. The paper starts with a brief overview of harmonic distortion problems and their impacts on electric power quality, how the active power filter mitigate this problems and the verifying using Matlab software. The proposed filter minimizes the harmonic distortion is within an acceptable range
