The purpose of this paper is to introduce a different type of converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It continues with detailed discussion on the resonant converter armed at minimizing or eliminating the transistors switching losses. Finally the drive has been tested on a disc-type reluctance motor for the perfomance and functionality.

By using the time-switched method and the comparison theorem, we derived a criterion of delay-dependent stability for the switched large-scale time-delay systems. To guarantee the exponential stability for the switched large-scale time-delay systems with stabilitymargin λ, the total activation time ratio of the switching law is determined. An example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of o...

In the 1980s the primary networks were circuit-switched. These networks were public utilities operated as monopolies. As we all know, circuit-switched networks have been largely replaced by packet-switched networks. Public utilities have been replaced by a highly competitive marketplace. An older generation of engineers has been replaced by a new one, and the appreciation of formal methods has ...

In this paper, the existence of stabilizing sliding motions in the context of switched linear systems is investigated. We consider the case of switched systems with two subsystems and we propose conditions for the existence of stable sliding hyper-planes. For particular cases of switched systems (planar systems, integrator chains), we provide constructive analytical methods for deriving a stabi...

The set of controllable switched linear systems is an open set in the space of all switched linear systems. Then it makes sense to compute the distance from a controllable switched linear system to the set of uncontrollable systems. In this work we obtain an upper bound for such distance.
