In-wheel switched reluctance motor drive

A switched reluctance motor includes an inner stator having a plurality of stator poles with coil windings, the inner stator having a plurality of stator phases, an outer rotor configured to rotate around the inner stator, the outer rotor having a plurality of rotor poles, at least one position sensor configured to detect a position of the outer rotor, and a DC supply configured to sequentially supply current to excite the stator phases.Department of Electrical EngineeringUS8544580; US8544580 B2; US8544580B2; US8,544,580; US 8,544,580 B2; 8544580; Appl.
