This paper describes methodology to calculate required motor power rating for elevator and lift application. Switched reluctance motor an excellent candidate for traction applications contributes more in low speed-high torque application. Quality of lift is analyzed by its smoothness, without any jurg. Torque production in motor during acceleration and deceleration decides Smoothness of lift. I...

A Finite Element Method (FEM) mesh is converted to a reluctance network through an original magnetostatic formulation based on face shape functions. This meshed reluctance network is coupled with an standard one, characterizing a 0D system. Both approaches are fully-compatible and the hybridized problem can be solve with a single circuit solver. The approach is tested in 2D on a magnetic circui...

The paper outlines a method for inclusion of the impact of eddy-currents in the model for dynamic prediction of current waveform and force of a switched reluctance machine. The method is based on the equivalent electric circuit model which accounts for the impacts of magnetic saturation and eddy currents in the magnetic core. A linear tubular switched reluctance machine, which includes solid st...

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 ...

Perpetrators of abuse and violence against women and children are often reluctant participants in intervention programs. They frequently fail to attend scheduled appointments, are sometimes openly hostile to intervention staff, and often judge program materials as irrelevant to their situation. Recognizing this problem, researchers and practitioners have begun to develop models and tools to mor...

This paper presents a new model reference adaptive control method to control motor torque in direct drive reluctance motors in an accurate and ripple-free fashion. It is based on the motor's voltage equation and requires only measurements of motor angle, winding voltages and currents. In addition, we introduce a new optimal torque-to-current conversion which minimizes copper losses. Simulations...
