Abstract
Permanent magnets with rare earth materials are widely used in interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). The recent price rise of rare earth materials has become a serious concern. A Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is one of the candidates for HEV rare-earth-free-motors. An SRM has been developed with dimensions, maximum torque, operating area, and maximum efficiency that all compete with the IPMSM. The efficiency map of the SRM is different from that of the IPMSM; thus, direct comparison has been rather difficult. In this paper, a comparison of energy consumption between the SRM and the IPMSM using four standard driving schedules is carried out. In HWFET and NEDC driving schedules, the SRM is found to have better efficiency because its efficiency is high at the high-rotational-speed region.
