Abstract

Switched reluctance motors are widely used in various applications due to its inherent simplicity, robustness, and fault tolerance. The design of outer rotor type (inwheel) Switched Reluctance Motor plays a vital role in Electric vehicle. In SRM, the values of Stator pole arc and rotor pole arc has greater impact on average torque and torque ripple. This paper deals with the multiobjective optimization of stator pole arc and rotor pole arc to obtain correct compromise between maximum average torque and minimum torque ripple. The optimization procedure is done on 6/8, 5HP, 1500 rpm SRM. The optimized stator pole arc and rotor pole arc are used to model the machine analytically. The results are validated by Finite element analysis Software Package MagNet7.1.1. The proposed method holds good for the Optimum SRM design for electric Vehicles.
