The applications of SRM(Switched Reluctance motor) are dramatically increasing due to a simple mechanical structure, a high efficiency and a high speed drive characteristics. Energy recovery in the regenerative region is very important when SRM is used in traction drive. This is to reduce energy loss during mechanical braking and/or to have a high efficiency drive. To control excitation voltage during motoring and regenerating voltage in the generator operation in the SRM, multi-level voltage control is effective. This paper suggests multi-level inverter which is useful for motoring and regenerative operation. The proposed method is verified through simulations and experiments.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) has a considerable potential for industrial applications because of its high reliability as a result of the absence of rotor windings. In some applications with SRM, a parallel switching strategy is often used for cost saving, increasing of current capacity and system reliability. This paper proposes a new parallel switching strategy of SRM using parallel winding. While conventional parallel switching devices are connected in a phase winding, power devices are connected in the parallel windings wound in each pole of stator in the proposed method. Paralleling strategy for current sharing in the proposed method can be easily determined without considerations of any nonlinear characteristics of power devices such as conduction resistance, threshold voltage and gain factor. The proposed paralleling strategy is verified by the mathematical analysis and experimental results.

SRM Drives generate large vibration and acoustic noise because it is rotated by step pulse mmf and switching commutation mechanism. The main vibration source of SRM Drive is generated by rapidly variation of radial force when phase winding current is extinguished for commutation action. So the rapidly variation of radial force is repressed firstly to reduce vibrating force of SRM Drive. This paper suggests the vibration reduction method that SRM Drive with unidirect-short compensation winding is excited by a two stage commutation method at commutation period. This reduction effect of vibration is verified with the result obtained in the test of prototype machine.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) has considerable potential for industrial applications because of its high result lily as a result of the absence of rotor windings. In some applications with SRM, paralleling strategy is often used for cost saving, increasing of current capacity and system reliability. A SRM inverter has very low ,switching frequency. This results in reducing the burden for a high-speed of the gate-amp interface circuit. and the linearity of optocoupler is used to protect the instantaneous peak current for the stable operation. In this paper, series resistor is used to equal the current sharing of each switching device and a linear gate-amp is proposed to protect the instantaneous peak current which occurs in transient state. The proposed paralleling strategy is verified by experimental results.

본 논문은 새로운 구조의 이중 고정자 횡축 12/10 Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM)을 설계에 관한연구이다. 자동차 냉각팬에 적용하기 위해 Conventional 12/8과 Single Stator AF(Axial Field) SRM이 검토되었다. Axial Field의 장점은 기존의 방사형 보다 짧은 자속 경로를 가져 높은 토크와 효율을 가지지만 Single Stator AF SRM은 하나의 고정자와 회전자로 이루어져 있어 편심등 기구적으로 불안정하다는 단점이 있다. 이중 고정자 횡축 12/10 SRM은 두 고정자 사이에 회전자가 위치에 있어 Single Stator AF의 단점을 보안 할 수 있으며, 전기적인 특성 및 영향을 검토하기 위해 유한요소해석(FEA)을 수행하였다.

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 of 6/4 and 12/8 SRM was done in order to compare each other, and the design was done carefully.

본 연구에서는 SRM의 설계 단계에서 일반적으로 얻을 수 있는 자속 쇄교-전류 곡선으로부터 SRM의 토크-속도 특성 곡선을 예측하는 방법을 제시한다. B-스플라인 함수를 이용하여 SRM에 가해질 수 있는 상전류 파형을 모두 모델링하고 각각의 회전자의 속도에서 최대의 토크를 낼 수 있는 전류 파형을 구한다. 제안된 방법은 상전류 제어뿐만 아니라 스위칭 각도 제어까지 고려한 모든 상전류 파형을 표현할 수 있기 때문에 SRM이 최적으로 동작하는 상황에서의 토크-속도 특성임을 보장할 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 SRM의 설계 단계에서 별도의 제어기 설계 없이 간단히 성능을 평가할 수 있는 방법이다.

본 논문에서는 SRM운전에서 맥동토오크와 부하토오크의 변화로 인한 속도변경을 줄이기 위해 동적 도통각 제어 원리를 이용한 PLL(Phase Locked Loop) 속도제어 방식을 채택하였다. SRM은 많은 장점을 가지고 있으나 토오크리플에 따른 속도변동으로 정밀한 속도제어에 어려움이 있다. SRM 구동 시스템에 PLL을 적용한 결과 전동기는 강인한 정속도 운전을 할 수 있으며, 또한 운전속도에 따라 선행각을 조정함으로서 고효율 구동을 할 수 있었다. 구성된 시스템은 운전속도와 부하의 변화에 따라 선행각이 증가함으로써 뛰어난 동적 속도제어 특성을 갖고 있으며, 인버터 인가전압을 제어하는 선행각을 조정함으로서 일정부하 영역에서 높은 효율특성을 가진다. SRM 구동 시스템의 PLL 속도제어와 고효율 구동을 위한 도통각제어를 위해 TMS320F240 DSP를 사용함으로서 디지털 제어기의 유연성과 소형화를 꾀하였다.

The torque of SRM depends on phase current and the derivative of inductance. But the inductance of SRM is nonlinearly changed according to rotor position angle and phase current because of saturation in magnetic circuit. Therefore this has a concern in torque ripple and speed variation, and it is difficult to control the desired torque The torque of SRM depends on phase current and the derivative of inductance. But the inductance of SRM is nonlinearly changed according to rotor position angle and phase current because of saturation in magnetic circuit, and it is difficult to control the desired torque. This paper proposes an optimization control scheme by adjusting both the turn-on and turn-off angle according to high efficiency points which are simulated by GA-Neural Network, which is used to simulate the reasonable switching angle which is nonlinearly varied with rotor speed and load.
