This is a comprehensive textbook covering major aspects of switched reluctance motor drives in detail. It also provides a macroscopic view of the use of electric motors in different sectors to explore the role of SRM in industry.

Electric motors are the largest consumer of electric energy and they play a critical role in the growing market for electrification. Due to their simple construction, switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are exceptionally attractive for the industry to respond to the increasing demand for high-efficiency, high-performance, and low-cost electric motors with a more secure supply chain.
