Novel Modular Switched Reluctance Machines for Performance Improvement

A Comparative Study on Modeling Methods for Switched Reluctance Machines

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) has many specific advantages and has being gradually used in all kinds of applications. However, because it’s inherently multivariable, strong-coupling and highly nonlinear, there are lots of difficulties to build its model. In this paper, many modeling methods include numerical, analytical and intelligent approaches are studied and compared in terms of complexit...

Voltage control of switched reluctance machines for Hybrid Electric Vehicles

The rugged low-cost construction and constant power profile of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) make it suitable for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). This paper describes the development of a voltage-based control strategy for a SRM. The controller design is influenced by project constraints and goals as well as the use of a new power topology. A prototype SRM and controller were built and ful...

Hierarchical Distributed Motion Control for Multiple Linear Switched Reluctance Machines

This paper investigates a distributed, coordinated motion control network based on multiple direct-drive, linear switched reluctance machines (LSRMs). A hierarchical, two-level synchronization control strategy is proposed for the four LSRMs based motion control network. The high-level, reference signals agreement algorithm is first employed to correct the asynchronous behaviors of the position ...

Performance of Passive Boost Switched Reluctance Converter for Single-phase Switched Reluctance Motor

Abstract – A novel passive boost power converter forsingle-phaseswitched reluctance motor is presented. A simple passive circuit is proposed comprisingthree diodes and one capacitor. The passive circuitis added in the front-end of a conventional asymmetric converter to obtain high negative bias. Based on this passive network, the terminal voltage of the converter side is a general DC-link volta...
