This paper presents developing an analytical model for flux switching motors. The motor is a class of variable reluctance motors that has two windings on stator; a field winding and an armature winding. Due to saliency of both stator and rotor poles, accurate modeling is difficult which arises from the nonlinear behavior of the machine. This paper presents a simple model which is able to predic...

prompt detection and diagnosis of faults in industrial systems areessential to minimize the production losses, increase the safety of the operatorand the equipment. several techniques are available in the literature to achievethese objectives. this paper presents fuzzy based control and fault detection for a6/4 switched reluctance motor. the fuzzy logic control performs like a classicalproporti...

this paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. although srm possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. in this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. by using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the dc...

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) have inherent advantages such as simple structure with non winding construction in rotor side, fail safe because of its characteristic which has a high tolerances, robustness, low cost with no permanent magnet in the structure, and possible operation in high temperatures or in intense temperature variations. The torque production in switched reluctance motor com...

The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It uses the C-dump topology in which the trapped energy in the phase windings is returned to the supply capacitor to be used in the following strokes. In addition to the C-dump topology, it uses two extra feedbacks. One comes from a governor mounted on the shaft of motor which contro...

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...

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 considers a new switched reluctance motor (SRM) structure aiming at high starting torque with low volume. For some applications such as EVs (Electrical Vehicles), the motor volume and starting torque is a critical point in its design. In many methods, reducing the motor volume causes reduction in starting torque and decreases the motor efficiency. Unlike conventional SRMs, the rotor ...
