Switched reluctance machines (SRMs) are low cost and fault tolerant alternatives for traction applications. Due to their relatively low torque density and high torque ripple, these machines have not been used in commercialized electrified power trains yet. The double-stator magnetic configuration, where a segmental rotor shared between two stators, is proven to have superior torque density, lower acoustic noise, and torque pulsation. The double-stator SRM (DSSRM) has a high potential of being the next generation of traction motors since it combines the advantages of permanent magnet-free machines, such as low cost and independence from supply chain issues associated with rare metals, while providing high torque and power densities. This paper introduces the complete design process of a 100-kW DSSRM including electromagnetic, structural, thermal, and system level design. The performance of the developed DSSRM is verified with the experimental data. This paper presents overall study of DSSRM and describes merits of DSSRM drive system.

Design of synchronous reluctance machines with a wide speed range
Yılmaz, Yusuf Basri; Bostancı, Emine; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-10)
Synchronous reluctance machines (SynRMs) are a good alternative for traction and industrial applications due to their good power density, low cost and high efficiency. However, they suffer from high torque ripple, low power factor and poor high speed performance due to their singly excited nature. To overcome these challenges, rotor geometries are optimized to get a low torque ripple and ferrite magnets are inserted in the flux barriers to get a higher power factor and a better high speed performance. Thi...
Direct Torque Control of a 4-Phase Switched Reluctance Machine
Petrus, V.; Pop, A. -C.; Martis, C. S.; Iancu, V.; Gyselinck, J. (2011-09-10)
Due to its doubly salient structure and highly nonlinear behavior, the Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) operates with very high torque ripple. To overcome these inconveniences different average and instantaneous torque control techniques were developed. This paper presents an instantaneous torque control technique named Direct Torque Control (DTC) implemented on a 4-phase, 8/6, 0.75kW SRM. Simulations results with modified flux observer and with fast torque response are presented and discussed, along with ...
Opportunities and Challenges of Switched Reluctance Motor Drives for Electric Propulsion: A Comparative Study
Bostancı, Emine; Parsapour, Amir; Fahimi, Babak (2017-03-01)
Selection of the proper electric traction drive is an important step in design and performance optimization of electrified powertrains. Due to the use of high energy magnets, permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) have been the primary choice in the electric traction motor market. However, manufacturers are very interested to find a permanent magnet-free alternative as a fallback option due to unstable cost of rare-earth metals and fault tolerance issues related to the constant permanent magnet excita...
Analytical calculation of the electromagnetic field in SRM using conformal mapping method
Gu, Lei; Bostancı, Emine; Moallem, M.; Wang, Shiliang; Devendra, Patil (2016-07-22)
Switched reluctance machine (SRM) has attracted more attention recently for its simple structure and high reliability. In this paper, an analytical method for solving the magnetic field in SRM is illustrated utilizing the Schwarz-Christoffel conformal mapping method. With the help of Matlab SC tools, a general radial flux SRM with linear material characteristic is analyzed. The flux density distribution along a contour in the airgap is obtained and torque is calculated using Maxwell stress tensor and compar...
Simulation of Dynamic Operation in Salient Pole Synchronous Machines
Dordea, Toma; Munteanu, Radu; Campeanu, Aurel (2011-09-10)
The design of today's high performance synchronous motors must take into account not only the steady state but also practically inevitable dynamic regimes. In such conditions an accurate predetermination of the parameters and constructive solution by modeling and simulation of the given dynamic operation, becomes a mandatory step. In this aim, in the present paper a novel mathematical model of the high power salient pole synchronous machine (SPSM) is elaborated. We proposed to consider especially the effect...
