Abstract
This article presents a power converter topology with integrated driving and charging capability of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive for electric vehicle (EV) application. In the driving mode, the bus voltage can be adjusted flexibly by the front-end buck converter, which meets the requirements of the speed open-loop and closed-loop control. Besides, higher voltage demagnetization can be achieved by connecting the upper freewheeling diodes of the asymmetric half-bridge converter to the battery bank, thus can accelerate the demagnetization process, extend the dwell angle, and enhance the output of the motor. In battery charging mode, a bridgeless rectifier converter is constructed by utilizing two-phase windings of the SRM and the existing power devices of integrated power converter, without additional inductors and charging units. The battery charging and power factor correction control can be realized by closed-loop control of charging current. Detailed analysis and experiments on a 1 kW 12/8 structure prototype SRM validate the effectiveness of the proposed technologies.
