The Design and Control of an Electrified Powertrain with Switched Reluctance Machines for Series Hybrid Electric Vehicle

This paper presents an electrified powertrain including the switched reluctance generator (SRG), the switched reluctance motor (SRM) and the corresponding integrated power converters for series hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Five driving modes for the series HEV are implemented according to the state-of-charge (SOC) of battery bank and road conditions. The corresponding control strategies are proposed for the electric drive system to achieve different driving modes. The experiments are carried out to verify the effectiveness of proposed integrated powertrain and the control schemes.
