Effective switched reluctance drive train in unmanned aerial vehicles: Design investigations

The purpose of this paper is the design of different switched reluctance drives for an existing drive train of an electromechanical actuation system of a small unmanned aerial vehicle. Therefore, the outside dimensions of the switched reluctance machine are determined by the used permanent magnet synchronous motor size to allow the easy exchange of the motor drives. Moreover, the switched reluctance machines should fulfill the same control requirements as the reference motor.
