In this paper, the optimization and characteristics analysis of a three-phase 12/8 switched reluctance motor (SRM) based on a Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) for electric vehicles (EVs) application is presented. This research aims to enhance the output torque density of the proposed SRM. Finite element method (FEM) was used to analyze the characteristics and optimization process of the proposed motor. The proposed metaheuristic GWO combines numerous objective functions and design constraints with different weight factors. Maximum flux density, current density, and motor volume are selected as the optimization constraints, which play a significant role in the optimization process. GWO performs optimization for each iteration and sends it to FEM software to analyze the performance before starting another iteration until the optimized value is found. Simulations are employed to understand the characteristics of the proposed motor. Finally, the optimized prototype motor is manufactured and performance is verified by experiment. It is shown that the torque can be increased by 120% for the same outer volume, by using the proposed method.

The switched reluctance motor gains a significant response in industries in the past decade because of its ruggedness, high torque to inertia ratio, simple structure, high reliability and inexpensive manufacturing capability. These features make it a suitable candidate for various applications and electric drives. However, In the field of electric drives a switched reluctance motor drive is having doubly salient structure thus it inherently produces high torque ripples and acoustic noise problems and its controlling difficulties that is an undesirable effect for vehicle applications, especially at low speed. The main objective of this paper is to minimize the torque ripples and to control its speed. In this paper a fuzzy logic controller based direct torque control method is used for speed controlling and for controlling of torque ripples of the 8/6 SRM drive. It’s modelling and application of fuzzy logic controller based direct torque control method is done in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
