The brushless doubly fed reluctance machine (BDFRM) is receiving an increased amount of attention from the research community thanks to its potential as alternative drive for variable speed applications, both motor and generator. Currently, sizing BDFRM in literature based on model ideal axially laminated rotor (ALR) discrepancies are hidden compensation factors which turn tuned with a finite e...

A fuzzy-logic-based turn-off angle compensator for torque ripple reduction in a switched reluctance motor is proposed. The turn-off angle, as a complex function of motor speed and current, is automatically changed for a wide motor speed range to reduce torque ripple. Experimental results are presented that show ripple reduction when the turn-off angle compensator is used.

Inductance profile has an important bearing on the performance of a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) This paper presents the results of a frequency respolse method to estimate the inductance profde of SRMs. Stator winding is energized by a variable voltage variable Frequency supply.

Fuzzy logic or fuzzy set theory is recently getting increasing emphasis in process control applications. This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic control (FLC) for switched reluctance motor (SRM) speed. The (FLC) technique finds its stronger justification in the utilization of a robust control law to model uncertainties. A fuzzy logic controller of the motor speed is then designed and ...

Dynamic behavior analysis of electric motors is required in order to accurately evaluate the performance, energy consumption and pollution level of hybrid electric vehicles. Simulation tools for hybrid electric vehicles are divided into steady state and dynamic models. Tools with steady-state models are useful for system-level analysis whereas tools that utilize dynamic models give in-depth inf...
