Design and comparison of different Switched Reluctance Machine topologies for electric vehicle propulsion

The present paper deals with the comparative design and analysis of 3 Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) topologies for electric vehicle propulsion. A preliminary design of the machine will be carried out, giving the initial geometric and electric (winding) data. Different numbers of phases and different combinations of stator and rotor pole numbers will be considered, keeping the same main dimensions (outer and inner stator diameter, airgap length, stack length, stator pole height, stator yoke width, rotor pole height) and the same winding per phase (number of turns and wire diameter).
