Numerical Modeling and Parametric Analysis of a Switched Reluctance Motor

This paper presents the numerical modeling of a switched reluctance motor / generator use in the automotive traction industry. The performance, efficiency and top-of-the-line features of reluctance machines combined with its, robust low cost construction make this technology an attractive alternative to other types of engines typically selected for traction applications. In this research, a variation of the model geometric and supply current for a switched reluctance motor / generator was made for applications in complete hybrid vehicles.
