Cascaded Multiport Converter for SRM-Based Hybrid Electrical Vehicle Applications

This paper proposes a cascaded multiport switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive for hybrid electric vehicle applications, which not only allows flexible energy conversion among the generator/ac grid, the battery bank, and the motor, but also achieves battery management (BM) function for state-of-charge balance control and bus voltage regulation. By integrating the battery packs into the asymmetrical half-bridge converter, the cascaded BM modules...
