The switched reluctance motors had gained more attention among the variable speed drives due to its inherent simplicity and low cost. It is an electronically commutated motor and need to be driven from a converter. The excitation of the different phases of the converter is dependent on the rotor position. This paper presents the simulation of the open loop control of a 6/4 switched reluctance m...

This document deals with solutions to control a switched reluctance motor using the TMS320C24x. This new DSP family enables cost-effective design of intelligent controllers for switched reluctance motors. Two speed control algorithms are presented, they allow the Switched Reluctance motor drive to reach high efficiency, smooth operation, very good dynamic behavior, very high speed and low acous...

This paper presents a nonlinear circuit-coupled 2D finite element model for use in the dynamic simulation of electrical machines with multiple sets of windings, connected to an external electrical circuit, and with rotating parts. An inductance is introduced to account for the 3D end effects on phase inductance, due to the end windings and axial fringing field. The model is applied to the simul...

This paper introduces the high efficiency operation of switched reluctance generator (SRG). The proposed SRG operates under the rated speed. The high efficiency can be obtained by the optimal current shape which can make the total losses minimum. For this purpose, theoretical analysis of the copper and core loss is done. In addition, a modified angle position control (MAPC) method which can get...
