This paper presents a direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) of Switched Reluctance Moto (SRM) with a novel 4-level converter to obtain smooth torque and dynamic performance improvement. The DITC method can reduce the high inherent torque ripple of SRM drive system, but driving efficiency and dynamic performance are somewhat low due to the slow excitation current build-up. Since the 4-level converter can obtain a addition high voltage to get fast excitation current and demagnetization current, so, it can improve dynamic performance easily. As a high performance SRM drive system with low torque ripple and high dynamic performance can be implemented. The validity of proposed method is verified by some computer simulations and comparative experiments.

The DITC of SRM for smooth hoist driving is presented in this paper. In the hoist system, the switched reluctance motor (SRM) is applied instead of induction motor because of high efficiency and good traction characteristic. In order to improve start-up and stop performance of hoist system, the smoothing operation sequence of SRM using DITC is proposed. According to the switching sequence and hysteric band, the instantaneous torque is controlled. Since, the proposed method uses only the turn-on angle depending on variation of load and speed, a simple DITC can be implemented. The validity is proved by simulation and experiment.

This thesis describes an observer of Switched Reluctance Motor for position. velocity and torque estimation using current sening. Inductance of SRM varies trapezoidally with respect to the rotor position. This means that the inductance of each phase is a periodic function with the same period. Under this condition. the observer with a constant gain can be developed though SRM has nonlinear characteristics. Because SRM has equivalent physical meaning with each period. The stability of error system which is the difference between actual system and observer system. is analyzed using Lyapunov and variable structure theory. The effectiveness of the proposed estimation is shown by various simulation.

The torque production of SRM is dependent on the variation of inductance which is related to rotor position angle. So the realization of high efficiency SRM is achieved by design of optimal inductance profile appropriate for magnetic capacity of motor. This can be obtained by optimal design of winding number of stator. This paper suggests the design standard of winding number of stator for high efficiency. And this paper shows the experimental results of driving performance of SRM.

A new excitation method of switched reluctance moor drive is described in this paper. This motor produces reluctance torque by mutual action between tyro phases as well as conventional self reluctance torque. The change of self inductance and mutual inductance are used to produce torque. This paper suggests the operational principle, the mechanism of torque product and the driving characteristics of Switched Reluctance Motor with 2 phase excitation against conventional SRM experimentally. The energy conversion ratio is increased because the next phase is excited after one phase is already excited. Acoustic noise of SRM with 2 phase excitation is decreased than that of conventional SRM due to the mechanism of torque production.

This paper presents the reasonable design parameters of a SRM for hybrid electric vehicle driving. For the design of SRM, the initial model is designed using the equivalent magnetic circuit method. In order to optimize the SRM for HEV. The initial model is redesigned by FEM with the variation of the stock length and turns of winding. This paper shows that a flat-topped current of a phase can be made from a change of the stack length and the number of turns for high efficiency, high average torque and a lower torque ripple. The change of current falling time as a variation of turn-off angle was shown by FEA. The iron loss and copper loss were described. The torque of the redesigned motor is suitable for low and high speed ranges to drive a HEV that was verified by the speed-torque curve.

SRM의 상 스위칭 제어방식에서 상 스위치의 온, 오프 제어정도는 인코더의 분해능뿐만 아리라 마이크로프로세서의 샘플링 주기에 의해 제약을 받게되며, 전동기의 속도가 고속으로 됨에 따라 상 스위치의 온, 오프 제어정도는 더욱 떨어지게 되어 정상운전상태가 불안전하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SRM 구동에 적합한 저가형 인코더를 제안하고, 제안된 인코더의 출력신호를 사용하여 간단한 논리회로에 의해 상 스위치 제어방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 상 스위치 제어방식은 스위치 온, 오프각 지연이 SRM의 운전속도와 관계없게 되어 안정된 고속운전이 가능하게 되었다.

In switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive, it is necessary to synchronize the stator phase excitation with the rotor position. Therefore the rotor position information is an essential. Usually optical encoders or resolvers are used to provide the rotor position information. These sensors are expensive and are not suitable for high speed operation. In the paper, the low cost linear encoder suitable for the practical and stable SRM drive is proposed and the control algorithm to provide the switching signals using the simple digital logic circuit is also presented in this paper. It is verified from the experiments that the proposed encoder and logic controller can be a powerful candidate for the practical low cost SRM drive.

The SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) has a more inherent simple mechanical structure, greater ruggedness and higher efficiency than a conventional AC motor. It is for these reasons that SRM is widely applied in an extensive range of industrial applications. In this paper, SRM is designed and analyzed for EPS (Electrical Power Steering) application. Electrical power steering in a vehicle plays the role of reducing a driver's handling control power. For proper design, a FEM analysis is implemented according to the rotor structure. Using both a FEM and a magnetic circuit analysis, a designed motor is simulated and tested. The effectiveness of the suggested SRM drive for EPS application is verified by the prototype motor drive tests.

This paper introduces a indirect rotor position and speed estimation algorithm for the SRM(switched reluctance motor) sensorless control, based on the sliding mode observer. The information of position and speed is generally provided by encoder or resolver. However, the position sensor not only adds complexity, cost, and size to the whole drive system, but also causes limitation for industrial applications. In this paper, in order to eliminate the position sensor, indirect position sensing method using sliding mode observer is used for SRM drives. And this observer parameters are optimized by evolutionary algorithm. PI controller is also optimized for the SRM to track precisely using evolutionary algorithm.
