A Matlab/Simulink/SRDaS environment to simulate a 6/4 Switched Reluctance Motor is presented in this paper. The proposed simulation model of the Switched Reluctance Motor for its linear inductance profile is instigated. All simulations are completely documented by their block diagrams and corresponding Matlab functions. The developed simulation model results were compared with SRDaS software pa...

Problem statement: The main objective of this research is to obtain the speed control of switched reluctance motor with minimum settling time and without overshoot. Approach: A new algorithm has been developed with the combination of differential evolution and particle swarm optimization and applied for speed control of switched reluctance motor under sudden change in speed. Also speed control ...

This paper proposes an effective method of energy regeneration during braking for a dc motor or internal combustion(IC) engine. During the braking period, instead of dissipating the kinetic energy in the brake shoes and poles in the form of heat, this energy is recovered using a switched reluctance generator that is mechanically coupled to the shaft of prime mover. Here the DC motor or the IC e...

in this paper, the design and implementation of adaptive speed controller for a sensorless synchronous reluctance motor (synrm) drive system is proposed. a combination of well-known adaptive input-output feedback linearization (aiofl) and adaptive backstepping (abs) techniques are used for speed tracking control of synrm. the aiofl controller is capable of estimating motor two-axis inductances ...

This paper uses the flux-MMF diagram to compare and contrast the torque production mechanism in seven common types of electric motor. The flux-mmf diagram is a generaked version of the flux-linkage versus current (+i) diagram €or switched-reluctance motors. It is illustrated €or switchedreluctance, synchronous-reluctance, induction, brushless ac, brushless dc, interior PM and dc commutator moto...

Torque ripple is a major problem of switched reluctance motor drive system, which causes undesirable vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper, a novel method of torque closed-loop and fuzzy compensation control for the switched reluctance motor drive system based on finite element model is described. In terms of the simulation results and the special characteristics of static torquecurrent-a...

Nelson, Andrew Lincoln: Characterization of Winding Faults in Axial Flux Reluctance Motors in the Context of Electric Vehicle Propulsion Systems. (Under the direction of Dr. Mo-Yuen Chow.) Since the late 1980’s there has been a major resurgence in electric vehicle propulsion research and development. This trend has been stimulated by various factors, including rising fossil fuel costs, environm...

The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is being developed utilizing electrical and electronic technologies. EMALS is emerging in order to replace the existing steam catapult on naval carriers. Recently, the double-sided linear launcher has drawn increasing attention of researchers. This paper presents the design and analysis of the Linear Hybrid Reluctance Motor (LHRM). This new mot...
