Torque Ripple Reduction Design of 13kW SRM for Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

Design improvement of 13㎾ SRM for Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) in term to reduce the torque ripple is present in this paper. The new design of 13k SRM intends to improve the existing SRM machine performance in the neighborhood electric vehicle. Initially, the existing performance was carried out using the FEA procedure. Then the dynamic region of rotor pole arc was applied to arrive at the optimum design by tuning the geometry to achieve the best output characteristic. The characteristic of new proposed machine have been studied and the results of this study are presented in this paper.
