drives are designed to increase product performance and system efficiency. One such motor type which can benefit from digital control is the switched reluctance (SR) motor. The SR motor brings advantages in both cost and reliability over other types of adjustable speed drives. These include its simple mechanical construction, high efficiency and high power density. On the other hand, large torq...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has a remarkable characteristic, high efficiency, and good controllability, which makes it attractive for high-speed applications. In this paper, the basic control strategy for a switched reluctance motor drive circuit is explained and then three different resonant discharge topologies for SRM drive circuit are proposed. Due to resonantly discharging of exc...

Living in a world where environment protection and energy conservation are the first worries, the development of hybrid vehicle seems to be an accelerated pace. There for, recent efforts are directed toward developing an improved propulsion system. One of the most valuable solutions is the starter alternators [19]. This paper presents an advanced development of a switched reluctance starter-alt...

Accord to the theory of micro-step control, this study is about a design of a four-phase switched reluctance motor based on DSP-driven control system. Firstly, the study is about the design of the hardware circuit, such as the power inverter and its drive, current detection, position detection and the system power supply. And then to build a switched reluctance motor control system, TMS320L2812...

The switched reluctance motors had gained more attention among the variable speed drives due to its inherent simplicity and low cost. It is an electronically commutated motor and need to be driven from a converter. The excitation of the different phases of the converter is dependent on the rotor position. This paper presents the simulation of the open loop control of a 6/4 switched reluctance m...

This document deals with solutions to control a switched reluctance motor using the TMS320C24x. This new DSP family enables cost-effective design of intelligent controllers for switched reluctance motors. Two speed control algorithms are presented, they allow the Switched Reluctance motor drive to reach high efficiency, smooth operation, very good dynamic behavior, very high speed and low acous...

Switched reluctance motor drive system has greatly practical value in electric vehicle applications. For the characteristics of switched reluctance motor and electric vehicle application requirements, how to reduce the torque ripple effectively and ensure its average output torque, all these become a hot spot of research. Based on this, first of all, the nonlinear model of switched reluctance m...

This paper is related to comparison of two switching techniques that can be applied to asymmetric bridge converter driven switched reluctance machine. Switched reluctance motor operation principles are discussed. Theoretical circuit operation description and Matlab simulation software are used for switching technique comparison.
