Optimal design of switched reluctance motors

Miller, T.J.E. (2002) Optimal design of switched reluctance motors. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 49(1), pp. 15-27. (doi: 10.1109/41.982244)

Abstract

The fundamental theory of the switched reluctance motor is presented with a number of new equations. It is used to show how the practical development of a design calculation should proceed, and this leads to a discussion of physical characteristics required to achieve satisfactory performance and to reduce acoustic noise. The paper makes a few generic observations on the characteristics of successful products that use switched reluctance motors. It is written at a basic engineering level and makes no attempt to apply sophisticated optimization theory.
