Switched Reluctance Motor for Hybrid Electric Vehicle

The Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly important as not only do they reduce dependence on oil, but also they can be used to minimize noise and pollution. There are many electric-propulsion systems for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). The SRMs are gaining much interest and are recognized to have a potential for HEV applications because of its several advantage. There are, however, several disadvantages, which for many applications outweigh the advantage. The torque ripple, acoustic noise and speed ripple. The highly nonlinear nature of the SRM operating in saturation makes analytical modelling extremely difficult. The main aim of this project is to employ the non-linear controller for switched reluctance motor to reduce the torque and speed ripple to make it suitable for HEV.
