Abstract

Characteristics, trends and forecasts for
advanced materials and configurations for future
aerospace motors and generators are shown.
Preliminary designs of 500 degree C aircraft
engine switched reluctance generators and motors
are included. The paper reports on work done at
GE and at Simmonds Precision Products Group of
Hercules Aerospace Co. in accordance with USAF
Future Advanced Control Technology Study
(FACTS).exicitation

The paper presents the schematic diagram of the
three-phase 6/8 structure Switched Reluctance motor
drive for application in the traction of electric bicycle.
The models of the tum numbers of per phase winding, the
resistance of the stator phase winding, the copper loss in
the motor and the on-state loss of the power converter are
given. The calculation of the systematic efficiency and
the peak value of phase current of the drive at the rated
operating condition with the different supplied voltage of
the phase winding are made. The output torque, the
output power, the systematic efficiency and the peak
value of phase current of the drive at the different
velocity of the bicycle are tested. It shown that enhancing
the supplied phase voltage contributes to increase the
travel course with once charging and reduce the costs of
the hardware.
