SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) has not been put into practical use since it has been developed in mid 19th centuries, but the switching element using semi-conductor was developed in 1950's which made possible to produce small size staffing motors. The research activities have been lively conducted regarding SRM since 1960's, nowadays, more research activities are being carried out focusing on developing small home appliances such as vacuum cleaners and washing machines. This thesis explains the study of controller design applied to SRM concept. This controller executes controller algorithms via $\mu$ - processor to increase stability and precise measurement, and VHDL (Very high speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language) is designed to generate SRM driving signal.

SRM drives generate large vibration and acoustic noise because it is commutated individually by step pulse m.m.f on each phase pole. The frequency or motor speed of peak vibrations and acoustic noises is coincided with the natural resonant frequency of the magnetic structure and frame material. And this radial vibration force is induced on the phase commutation region. This paper suggest the new electromagnetic structure of SRM with auxiliary commutation winding excited d.c e.m.f.. This phase- commutating winding is coupled magnetically between one phase winding and the vibrating force is falled down. As a result, SRM with d.c exciting commutation winding is very useful to reduce vibration and acoustic noise of SRM drive.

This paper discusses the development of a 3.5 kW switched reluctance motor (SRM)-based electric air-conditioning (AC) compressor, focusing primarily on the design aspects of the SRM and the integrated controller. In addition to the increased price of rare-earth magnets, SRM's operation capability at high speed and high temperature makes the SRM a viable alternative to the permanent magnet motor for electrically driven automotive air conditioning compressors. A compact and energy efficient scroll compressor is designed and constructed. Two feasible SRM topologies are considered, in terms of efficiency, torque ripple, and acoustic noise. Compact drive electronics are designed and employed to drive the SRM-based compressor. The static and dynamic performance is validated by simulation and experiment.

The SRM has high efficiency, a wide speed range, high speed capability and DC-series Motor characteristics. So the SRM has been studied as adjustable speed machine. The speed of SRM can be adjusted to switching angle and exciting voltage. This paper suggests an constant speed drive method of SRM. In this method, the speed is controlled by voltage regulation using PI control and the torque is controlled by advance angle in accordance with, load torque variation.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive system provides a good adjustable speed and torque characteristics. SRM has the possibility of maintaining full power over a wide speed range. So, many attempts are being done from home appliances to industrial machinery and tools. Especially, a traction drive of an SRM is one of a good application for it's DC-series characteristic. However, because of the switching mechanism, it has some disadvantage of noise and vibration. It is difficult to adopt to an appliance demanding silency. A noise simulation and design of 6/4 and 12/8 SRM was done in order to compare each other was done.

Switched reluctance motor(SRM) has simple magnetic structure, and needs simple power electronic driving circuit. It is very useful for wide range adjustable speed drive system. But, SRM drive generates large vibration and acoustic noise because it is commutated individually by step pulse m.m.f of each phase. In the vibration and acoustic noise characteristics. the considerable vibration and noise is induced by radial deforming of stator, so the frequency of dominant vibration and noise is coincident with the frequency of natural frequency of mechanical structure. This radial vibration force is generated by abrupt change of radial magnetic force in the phase commutation region. This paper studied about simple electromagnetic structure of SRM using auxiliary compensating winding for the reduction of noise and vibration. This auxiliary winding is coupled with all phase windings electromagnetically and absorb and transfer magnetic energy variation from phase to other phase. By this interaction of phase windings and compensating winding can reduce abrupt radial force change and vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper the improvement effect is examined by the test of prototype machine.

Bearingless Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) have combined characteristics of SRM and magnetic bearing. Production of radial force for rotor shaft magnetic suspension is explained with differential stator windings. Bearingless SRM is simple structurally because the permanent magnet does not exist and bearing does not take the influence at the environment because it does not exist and has strong torque, and loss of bearing by bearing current has the advantage not to exist. In this paper, a design method of bearingless SRM for suspension power and starting torque is proposed. The design model is implement by maxwell.

SRM has a characteristic of a robust, simple structure and wide operating ranges. So, recently it has studied and developed in many kinds and forms with the technology of power electronics and analysis and design by use of computer. Also, It is used in a very wide range of industrial applications. In particular, single phase switched reluctance motor has a merit in practical use because it has simple operating drives and control systems, very high energy density per unit volume comparing with three phase SRM. But it must have a starting device. In this paper design procedures of single phase SRM development for blower drives are presented. It is selected the design parameters by compared with design theory of general electric machine and poly phase SRM. Also it is simulated the designed prototype model by FEM for the prediction of characteristics.

In a SRM drive, the on/off angles of each phase switch should be accurately controlled in order to control to torque and speed in a stable way, The accuracy of the switching angles is dependent upon the resolution of the encoder and the sampling period of the microprocessor. However, as the speed increase, the amount of the switching angle deviation from the preset values is also increased by the sampling period of the microprocessor. Therefore, a low cost encoder suitable for a 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 a the practical low cost SRM drive.

This paper proposes the SRM drive system based on DC-link current, from which the phase currents can be estimated in accuracy and also they can be used in driving SRM instead of the three-phase currents. In additional, the detecting circuit for DC-link current is also proposed for increasing the resolution and decreasing the off-set. Comparing to the general drive system based on the phase current, it is verified through the experiment that the proposed SRM drive system has the good performance in steady-state responses of the speed control. Using the DC-link current, all of the 3-phase currents can be easily estimated in driving the SRM.
