| Summary: | This thesis intends to examine the principles of operation for switched reluctance machines (SRM) and examine the power electronic drive circuits that control them, in order provide a basis of understanding for evaluating total drive efficiency and responsiveness potential. This document specifically examines the characteristics of a motor drive circuit which affect motor and converter efficiency and driving performance. A drive topology suited for efficient operation and excellent responsiveness is proposed. Finally, a SRM drive system model for evaluating these systems in simulation is described as a tool for comparative evaluations in future work. The end goal of this work is to provide a foundation of knowledge for future work, developing in-wheel, SRM-based, high performance hybrid electric drivetrains in future ground combat vehicles which are modular, possess an open architecture for upgrades, and operate with high efficiency and improved mobility. === text |
