Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are increasingly popular machines in electrical drives, whose performances are directly related to their operating condition. Their dynamic characteristics vary as condition change. Recently, several methods of modelling of the magnetic saturation of SRMs have been proposed. However, the SRM is nonlinear and cannot be adequately described by such models. Artifi...

This paper compares the environmental and life cycle impact of one switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive and two inverter-fed induction motor (IM) drives. The study was carried out according to the Directive on the Ecodesign of Energy-Using Products (EuP 2005/32/EC) and following the Methodology for the Ecodesign of Energy-Using Products (MEEUP). The following base-case models were used: an IM ...

Recently, many vehicles have applied electric parts for saving fuel consumption and reducing levels of environmental pollution. ISG (Integrated Starter and Generator) system is one of main electric parts of following these trends and can improve fuel efficiency. If ISG motor and inverter are driven by appropriate switching time, it can be a more efficient system operation than existing ISG oper...

A new zero-current-transition (ZCT) converter for switched reluctance motor drives is presented. The proposed ZCT converter possesses the definite advantages that both the main and auxiliary switches are operating with zero-current switching (ZCS), as well as minimum current and voltage stresses. It has simple circuit topology, minimum component count and low cost. The ZCT technique can signifi...

During its operation, value a...

Translations are the most common motions in several industrial branches. Usually the linear motion is generated by belt or spindle drives using rotational motors. Elasticity and backlash are the problems that hinder the accuracy of such drives. These mechanical arrangements provide low speed only. Utilization of high performance linear motors can eliminate these problems because they generate l...
