Digital Control of Switched Reluctance Motor Drives

drives are designed to increase product performance and system efficiency. One such motor type which can benefit from digital control is the switched reluctance (SR) motor. The SR motor brings advantages in both cost and reliability over other types of adjustable speed drives. These include its simple mechanical construction, high efficiency and high power density. On the other hand, large torq...

Performance Prediction of Switched Reluctance Motor Using Multilevel Simulation

A multilevel modeling approach was developed for effective prediction for performance parameters of Switched Reluctance Machine. In this approach each system is described by its most efficient model. This paper addresses the problem of multilevel modeling applied to Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM). Using field analysis magnetic characteristics and inductance profile of the SRM are obtained.

A Novel Two Phase Hybrid Switched Reluctance Motor/Field-Assisted Generator: Concept, Simulation, and Experimental Confirmation

The switched reluctance motor is a simple and robust machine, which has found application over a wide power and speed ranges in different shapes and geometries. This paper introduces a new configuration for a two phase unidirectional switched reluctance motor/field assisted generator. The proposed novel motor/generator consists of two magnetically independent stator and rotor sets (layers), whe...

Acoustic Noise Reduction of Switched Reluctance Motor Drives

This paper presents a simple and novel procedure for acoustic noise reduction in Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) drive. The main sources of acoustic noise in a SRM are the radial magnetic force and torque ripple. To investigate the radial force, an analytical relationship between motor designs and drive parameters is required. Thus, in this method two mathematical methods for calculation of r...
