Electromagnetic Modeling Techniques for Switched Reluctance Machines: State-of-the-Art Review

Switched Reluctance Machines (SRMs) are gaining more attention due to their simple, and rugged construction, low manufacturing cost, and high-speed operation capability. An electromagnetic model of the machine is needed in the design, and analysis processes. The required accuracy level of the model depends mainly on the application. A high-fidelity model is required to achieve a good design, and predict the performance accurately. However, it …
