Design and Development of Switched Reluctance Motors by the Experimental Design Method, The 20th MAGDA Conference in Pasific Asia, pp.203-208, Nov. 14-16, 2011, Kaohsiung Taiwan
Abstract: This paper has designed two kinds of switched reluctance motor (SRM) to produce a large average torque. Target　motor has 18/12 or 24/16 teeth. Eight parameters are optimized by using the experimental design method coupled　with 2-D nonlinear finite element analysis. Assuming the motor volume and the stator current density are the same as　those of the interior permanent magnet motor of 50kW in PRIUS, the designed motor with three pole-pairs gives　474N･m and four pole-pairs motor gives 478N･m. Moreover, this paper has clarified the effect of drive circuit and　the leading angle on the average torque.
