Design and optimization of a torque controller for a switched reluctance motor drive for electric vehicles by simulation

This paper presents a study on an optimized controller for a switched reluctance motor drive intended for electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle applications. The proposed optimization approach using simulation is described. Simulation results obtained with an 8/6 switched reluctance motor drive are presented and exploited in the optimization process. The performance of the optimized controller is evaluated and validated by simulation.
