Abstract :
This article discusses the requirements of electric vehicle traction drives and the consequences to the control strategies of a switched reluctance motor drive. The selection of these control strategies for different operating regions in the torque-speed diagram is also discussed. To test different control strategies, a specialized simulation program was constructed. The simulation results and the implementation of the optimization strategies are discussed. Finally, the measurement methods and the test results are presented
