Kinetic energy storage systems (flywheels) offer a good solution to increase the stability of electric grid. The joint operation of these systems with renewable energy sources (e.g. photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind generators) can help spreading of these environmental friendly solutions. An investigation is being pursued at Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Department of Electric P...

The modeling and simulation of Switched Reluctance (SR) machine and drives is challenging for its dual pole salient structure and magnetic saturation. This paper presents the input data in form of experimentally obtained magnetization characteristics. This data was used for computer simulation based model of SR machine, "Selecting Best Interpolation Technique for Simulation Modeling of Switched...

Torque ripple is a major problem of switched reluctance motor drive system, which causes undesirable vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper, a novel method of torque closed-loop and fuzzy compensation control for the switched reluctance motor drive system based on finite element model is described. In terms of the simulation results and the special characteristics of static torquecurrent-a...

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...

This paper investigates the optimal values of turn-on and turn-off angles, and ratio of flux linkage at turn-off angle and peak phase current positions of optimal control for accomplishing maximum output power in an 8/6 Switched Reluctance Generator (8/6 SRG). Phase current waveform is analyzed to determine optimal excitation angles (optimal turn-on and turn-off angles) of the SRG for maximum o...

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are increasingly popular machines in electrical drives, whose performances are directly related to their operating conditions. Their dynamic characteristics vary as conditions change. Recently, several methods of the modeling of the magnetic saturation of SRMs have been proposed as analytical functions. However, the SRM system is nonlinear and cannot be adequat...

The design preciseness, the material used in productivity plus the time are coming the most important factors in motor manufacturing. Consequently, the use of interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPM) in hybrid vehicle seemed to be the best demands. However, and due to the earth magnet materials increasing prices such as Dysprosium and Neodymium, automobile manufacturers have looked ...
