TL;DR: A technical overview for low-noise switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives in electric vehicle (EV) applications is presented, including the machine topology improvement and control strategy design for radial vibration mitigation and torque ripple reduction and the research status on this topic is summarized and forecast research hotspots are presented.

TL;DR: Experimental results validate the numerical models and the effectiveness of the skewing in reducing the motor vibration and suggest that Skewing the stator is more effective than skewing the rotor in the SRMs.

TL;DR: A completely modular structure is achieved by using standard half-bridge modules, which is beneficial for market mass production, and experiments carried out on a three-phase 12/8 SRM confirm the effectiveness of the proposed SRM drive.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated multilevel converter of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) fed by a modular front-end circuit for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) applications is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, an online sensorless rotor position estimation technique for switched reluctance motors (SRMs) using just one current sensor is proposed, which is achieved by first decoupling the excitation current from the bus current.
