Design a novel switched reluctance motor for neighborhoods electric vehicle

This paper describes, design and modeling procedure of a novel switched reluctance motor for neighborhoods electric vehicle. The proposed motor employed six stator and twelve rotor poles (6/12) with double stators configuration. Six stator poles divided into three independent groups and each group consists of two connected poles with no connection yoke among them. The proposed SRM employed three-phase sources with short magnetic flux. The construction and principle of the proposed motor are also described in this paper. Furthermore, Finite Element Method (FEM) used to predict the performance of the proposed motor. The result showed that the proposed motor offers a better performance in term of power and torque density.
