Switched Reluctance Motor Drives: Fundamentals to Applications

Switched Reluctance Motor Drives: Fundamentals to Applications

by Ali Emadi (Editor), Berker Bilgin (Editor), JamesWeishengJiang (Editor)

Synopsis

This is a comprehensive textbook covering major aspects of switched reluctance motor drives in detail. It also provides a macroscopic view of the use of electric motors in different sectors to explore the role of SRM in industry. Utilizing higher efficiency, lower cost, and robust electric motors will increase the level of electrification in industry, improve overall system efficiency, and reduce the operational cost, the electricity consumption, and emissions. This is where switched reluctance machine (SRM) can play a significant role. One of the main advantages of SRM is its low-cost and simple construction, which can provide reliable operation in a harsh environment.

Author Bio
Berker Bilgin (IEEE S'09-M'12-SM'16) is the Research Program Manager of the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Hybrid Powertrain Program in McMaster Institute for Automotive Research and Technology (MacAUTO) at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He is managing many multidisciplinary projects on the design of electric machines, power electronics, electric motor drives, and electrified powertrains. Dr. Bilgin was the General Chair of the 2016 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo (ITEC'16). He is now pursuing his MBA degree in DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University. Ali Emadi (IEEE S'98-M'00-SM'03-F'13) received the B.S. (1995) and M.S. (1997) degrees in electrical engineering with highest distinction from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. He also received his Ph.D. degree (2000) in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA. He is currently the Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Hybrid Powertrain and a Professor in the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME) at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The CERC appointment receives up to $10 million in federal funding over seven years in addition to significant support from the university. The appointment also includes a new hybrid vehicle research facility that is part of the new 80,000 square-foot McMaster Automotive Resource Center (MARC) at McMaster Innovation Park. He recently served as the Director of the McMaster Institute for Automotive Research and Technology (MacAUTO) from 2011-2015. Before joining McMaster University, Dr. Emadi was the Harris Perlstein Endowed Chair Professor of Engineering and Director of the Electric Power and Power Electronics Center and Grainger Laboratories at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, where he established research and teaching facilities as well as courses in power electronics, motor drives, and vehicular power systems. In addition, Dr. Emadi was the Founder, Chairman, and President of Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technologies, Inc. (HEVT) - a university spin-off company of Illinois Tech.
