Combined Control of a Segmented Stator Switched Reluctance Motor Drive for an Electric Motorcycle
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The electric motorcycle is a focus of increasing interest in the electric vehicle market. Usually, electric motorcycles are propelled by powertrains using permanent magnet synchronous motor drives. This paper proposes a segmented stator-switched reluctance motor drive as an alternative. The main goal is to present a control system that ensures the powertrain's operation across all speeds. Additionally, it aims to reduce the size of the DC-link capacitor with a smooth torque with lower ripple, particularly at low speeds. The system will combine direct torque control in the lowspeed range and current chopping control or angle pulse control with variable turn-on and turn-off angles in the medium to high-speed range. Simulation results demonstrate the goodness of the proposal.
