Solar PV-Powered SRM Drive for EVs with Flexible Energy Control Functions - 2016 PROJECT TITLE : Solar PV-Powered SRM Drive for EVs with Flexible Energy Control Functions - 2016 ABSTRACT: Electrical vehicles (EVs) offer a feasible answer to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and therefore become a hot topic for analysis and development. Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are one in all the promised motors for EV applications. In order to increase the EVs' driving miles, the use of photovoltaic (PV) panels on the vehicle helps to decrease the reliance on vehicle batteries. Based on the section winding characteristics of SRMs, a tri-port converter is proposed during this paper to control the energy flow among the PV panel, battery, and SRM. Six operating modes are presented, four of which are developed for driving and 2 for standstill onboard charging. In the driving modes, the energy decoupling management for maximum power purpose tracking (MPPT) of the PV panel and speed control of the SRM are realized. Within the standstill charging modes, a grid-connected charging topology is developed without a want for external hardware. When the PV panel directly charges the battery, a multisection charging control strategy is used to optimize energy utilization. Simulation results primarily based on MATLAB/Simulink and experiments prove the effectiveness of the proposed tri-port converter, which have potential economic implications to boost the market acceptance of EVs.
