The switched reluctance motor is a singly excited, doubly salient machine which can be used in generation mode by selecting the proper firing angles of the phases. Due to its robustness, it has the potential and the ability to become one the generators to be used in harsh environment. This paper presents an energy conversion by a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) when bifilar converter ci...

Switched reluctance drive (SRD) system has been used in many applications. However, because of its inherent nonlinearity, the design and analysis of SRD system is relatively difficult. In this paper, the development of design and analysis tool for SRD system based on MATLAB/GUIDE is studied. Firstly, the steps for the development of graphical user interface (GUI) by MATLAB/GUIDE are summarized....

This paper presents a position sensorless closed loop control of a switched reluctance linear motor. The aim of the proposed control is to damp the position of the studied motor. Indeed, the position oscillations can harm some applications requiring high position precision. Moreover, they can induce the linear switched reluctance motor to an erratic working. The proposed control solution is bas...

The purpose of this thesis is to design, develop, implement and test a novel soft-switching inverter topology suitable for switched reluctance motor drives. Present research being done in the field of switched reluctance motor drive inverters, including soft-switching inverters, is discussed. The novel topology is presented and the principle of operation is described in detail. The validity of ...

Because of extreme local saturation at pole tips of excited phase and uncircular shape of rotor and stator, a Swithed Reluctance Motor (SRM) does not have a simple and accurate mathematical model. Therefore, the output control of this motor requires a robust controller which is not based on an accurate model of the process. Fuzzy controllers, to some extent, will satisfy these requirements. Tet...

This paper describes the comparison of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based rotor position estimation techniques for Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) with respect to its execution time in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) TMS320F2812. The various networks of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System ( ANFIS) structures are trained for mapping the nonlinear current-flux...

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...

The paper deals with a model of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) that can be used for the development of control methods for the electrical drives with the SRMs. The non-linear theory describing the behavior of the SRM is listed that uses differential equations including the electromagnetic equations, the electromechanical equations, and the motion equation.
