Abstract
Selection of electrical machine is a key issue in electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles (HEVs and EVs). As far as HEVs and EVs are concerned, mechanical ruggedness of electrical machine is of utmost importance. For these reasons, the application of switched reluctance (SR) machine in EVs and HEVs is a viable option. In this study, an SR generator (SRG) has been utilised to work as a battery charger in EVs. The current ripple of the SRG is the greatest issue when it works as a battery charger. Therefore, a power converter and a smart search control (SSC) approach are proposed in this study to decrease the current ripple when the output power has a maximum quantity. During the system operation, the SSC method determines the value of excitation angle, turn-on and turn-off angles for each phase of SRG. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the eligibility of the SSC system and power converter to obtain the acceptable charging current in maximum generated power during battery charging.
