Abstract

A switched reluctance (SR) motor is simple and robust, and it is less expensive than a permanent magnet (PM) motor as it does not use rare earth magnets. Thus, the SR motor is one of the best in-wheel motors for electric vehicles (EVs). In previous works, a compact EV equipped with two 16/20-pole SR motors in rear wheels was prototyped. This paper proposes a novel control method for the in-wheel SR motor to implement a torque vectoring control for the prototyped EV. Furthermore, the proposed method is validated experimentally.
