A Unified Integrated PHEVs with Interleaved Boost Converter for Power Factor Correction Applications using SRM

Abstract

This study discusses the rising interest in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) because of its low 
carbon emissions, great fuel efficiency, and extended range. This work introduces a PHEV-optimized 
switching reluctance motor (SRM) powertrain architecture with fewer power electronic components 
than traditional topologies that has various driving and battery charging capabilities. Depending on the 
circumstances of the road, four driving modes are possible in motor driving mode. Driving and braking 
activities may be properly integrated. External battery chargers are not necessary when using one of 
three charging options. In order to charge the traction battery from the grid, the SRM windings and 
integrated converter circuit are employed to form a three-channel interleaved boost converter with PFC 
capabilities. An integrated half-bridge isolation dc/dc converter is utilised to charge the auxiliary battery 
from the generator or traction battery. A three-phase 12/8 poles SRM is used to test the proposed 
integrated drive architecture and accompanying control systems.
