In this paper a novel bearingless switched reluctance motor (SRM) with hybrid stator poles is proposed. The operating principle of proposed motor is also presented. Compared with existing bearingless SRM, it has many advantages such as lower number of switches and cost, simpler control algorithm, lower thermal load. Meanwhile through finite element method (FEM) characteristics of proposed structure such as inductance, torque and radial force can be obtained. According to the FEM results, the above advantages of the proposed structure can be verified.

In automobile, the introduction of electronically commutated motors has been accompanied by a proliferation of electronic devices. With this proliferation of electronic devices, an emphasis has been placed on EMC issues. This paper is proposed to use SRM as a radiator cooling fan in automotive applications. To drive SRM, Energy efficient C-dump converter is applied. It is verified more efficient than other converters through simulation and experiments. And also SRM is valid automotive applications that have strict EMC standards. It is compared SRM with BLDC and DC motor by experiments.

Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) has been researched for its superior characteristics. The SRM drive system has simple mechanical and magnetic structure, and it requires simple power electronic drive circuit. It is to be compatible to wide range adjustable speed drive system because it has the same driving characteristics of DC series motor's, easy control principle and high efficiency characteristics. In this paper, 2 types of excitation strategy are researched. Conventional 1-phase excitation and 2-phase excitation method are compared and tested. Though 1-phase excitation method is robust and has high performance, 2-phase excitation method has some merit in appling power device. Some simulation and test results are foaled with some analysis.

A novel single-stage power factor corrected (PFC) drive for switched reluctance motor (SRM) is presented to achieve sinusoidal, near unity power factor input current. The proposed PFC SRM drive has no additional active switch. And a single-stage approach, which combines a DC link capacitor used as do source and a drive used for driving the motor into one power stage, has a simple structure and low cost. The characteristics and validity of the proposed circuit will be discussed in depth through the experimental results.

The rotor position information is needed to control the speed of SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor). The information of the rotor position have been generally acquired by using the encoder or the resolver. Speed sensors, however, occasionally malfunction under the hostile environment such as EMI, dust, high temperature and humidity, etc. There have been many efforts to drive the motor without speed sensors. In this paper, the EKF(Extanded Kalman Filter) theory is proposed to drive the SRM without speed sensors. Proposed method keeps a robust speed estimation performance against the input noise because it includes a noise model of measuring noise within the system. The validity of the proposed method has been examined by simulations.

In this paper, the fuzzy control logic of Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) is introduced to apply the variable speed drive system. Since the speed-torque property of SRM has high speed variation to the changes of torque like a DC motor, to apply SRM to the variable speed driving system, the optimal speed-torque control method is required. As the control method like this, the fuzzy logic and PI control are proposed, and characteristics of them are compared and verified through the experimental results

Outer rotor type in-wheel switched reluctance motor for Welfare neighborhood electric vehicle is researched. In-wheel system is to drive the electric vehicle without mechanical transmission, shaft, differential gears or other mechanical system. To calculate drive power for each wheels, the elder's and disable's safety driving conditions are considered. The designed outer rotor SRM has a 6-stator and 8-rotor pole. The determined dimensions as well as the stator and rotor pole arc are simulated and tested with CAD and finite element analysis to verify the performance of the proposed motor.

In the paper, a four-phase 16/12 structure Switched Reluctance motor drive is presented. The construction of the stator and the rotor in the motor, the scheme of the rotor position detector and the main circuit of the power converter are described. The comparison of the four-phase 16/12 motor and the four-phase 8/6 motor and the comparison of the four-phase 16/12 motor and the three-phase 12/8 motor are made.
