Segmental Stator Switched Reluctance Machine for Safety-Critical Applications

In safety-critical systems, faults can cause life losses, environmental degradation, or significant financial losses. In this paper, a segmental stator switched reluctance machine is proposed for such applications. A short overview of its design is given. Its fault tolerance is investigated by dynam...

Summary:In safety-critical systems, faults can cause life losses, environmental degradation, or significant financial losses. In this paper, a segmental stator switched reluctance machine is proposed for such applications. A short overview of its design is given. Its fault tolerance is investigated by dynamic simulations and laboratory tests. It is demonstrated via both methods that the proposed machine is able to have a continuous operation despite five severe winding fault conditions.
