Inherent speed-torque performance of Switched Reluctance Motor is similar to that of series wound DC motor. Thus, the speed of the motor is extremely regulated according to load torque. For the purpose of controlling the speed and torque of SRM it is necessary to change the applied DC link voltage or the switch-ON and switch-OFF angles which control the phase current of the motor. This paper describes speed-torque characteristics of an integral horse power Switched Reluctance Motor by adjusting the switch-ON and switch-OFF angles. Speed at rated load torque can be regulated by adjusting the switching angles and the control scheme is applied to 2kW, 3 phase, 6/4 SRM.

A Low cost and variable speed brushless motor drive system with single switch per phase is presented. The motor drive is realized with a novel two-phase flux-reversal-free switched reluctance motor and a split AC two switch converter. The strategy of the controller and the converter for its realization are described. Comparisons between a split AC converter, asymmetric converter, split DC converter, single controllable switch converter, and N+1 converter are performed for its device rating, cost, switching losses and conduction losses, and converter efficiency. The split AC converter is analyzed and simulated to verify the characteristics of the converter circuitry and control feasibility and the simulation results are presented. The efficiency with various loads is numerically estimated and experimentally compared from viewpoint of subsystem and system in details. The focus of this paper is to compare the presented motor drive system to the asymmetric converter system throughout experiments and demonstrate single switch per phase converter having comparable efficiency as the asymmetric converter system.

Low cost motor drives are being sought for high volume energy efficient home appliances. Key to the realization of such low cost motor drives is to reduce the power electronic converter in terms of its components, particularly the active devices, finding the motor with least complexity for manufacturing and a controller that could extract the desired performance from the machine and converter combination. These and other factors such as self-starting, speed control over a wide range and most of all the crowning aspect of a four quadrant operation with bare minimum number of controllable switch (or switches) remain as formidable challenges for low cost motor drive realization. In this paper, a four quadrant switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive with only one controllable switch is realized by using a two-phase machine. The theory and operation of the proposed four-quadrant SRM drive with the proposed control algorithm for its realization are described. The motor drive is modeled, simulated and analyzed to verify its feasibility for self-starting, speed control and for four quadrant operation and the simulation results are presented. Experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed control algorithm for four quadrant control of the SRM drive. The focus of the paper is mainly directed toward the control algorithm for realizing the four-quadrant operation of the two-phase SRM drive with a single controllable switch converter.

본 논문에서는 인덕턱스의 변화에 따른 전류 변화율을 모니터링 하여 회전자의 속도 및 위치를 추정하는 센서리스 구동방법을 제안한다. 전류의 변화율은 히스테리시스 전류제어 방법을 이용하여 인접한 두 스위치 온 타임을 비교함으로써 간단히 측정할 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 복잡한 계산이나 별도의 하드웨어를 필요치 않으므로 구현이 용이하다. 시뮬레이션과 실험 결과는 제안한 방법의 실효성을 보여준다.

In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of electecromotive force(emf), phase current and torque according to the length of the air gap using 2nd order FEM(Finite Element Method) in Synchronous Reluctance Motor(SRH) and Brushless DC Motor(BLDC) with same volume and size. In the analysis with FEM, we applied the time-step function considering the motor switch in the magnetic vector potential of the unknown node.

Elimination of rotor position sensors mechanically coupled with the rotor shaft is attractive to variable speed drives primarily due to increased system reliability and cost reduction. In this regard, search for a simple and robust position sensorless control has been intensified in past few years specifically for low-cost, high-volume applications such as home appliances. This paper describes a new parameter insensitive position sensorless control for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives satisfying such a need in this market segment. Two consecutive switch-on times of the controllable switch in hysteresis current control are compared to estimate the rotor position and speed. The proposed sensorless control algorithm is very simple to implement since it does not depend on extensive computation or any additional hardware. In addition, the proposed method is robust in that its dynamic performance is least affected by system parameter variations. The proposed approach is demonstrated on a single-controllable-switch-converter-driven SRM with two-phases that lends itself to a system with low cost and compact packaging which comes close to the intended applications. Analysis and simulation results followed by experimental verification are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed sensorless control method.

브러시리스 DC 전동기(BLDC)는 스위치의 on/off 각이 최적의 고정자와 회전자의 정렬상태에 의해 결정되는 반면에, 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)은 스위치의 on/off 각이 많은 파라미터의 복잡한 함수로 나타나고 따라서 최적의 운전을 하기 위해서는 스위칭 각이 가변적으로 된다. 따라서 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)을 최적으로 운전하기 위해서 고해상도의 위치 센서와 복잡한 부가 회로 등을 이용하여 회전자 위치를 검출할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)를 구동할 수 있는 여러 가지 방법 중 엔코더, 홀센서, 옵토-인터럽터 (opto interrupter) 등 다양한 센서들을 활용하여 회전자 위치 검출 및 관련 위치 검출 회로적용, 검출된 회전자의 초기위치 확보에 관한 연구를 하였다.

Single phase switched reluctance motor has a high speed capability, due to its very robust rotor, and requires only one electronic power switch in its control circuitry. The latter feature considerably reduces the cost of the drive system. But it involves starting problem and strongly torque ripple, which means that the motor is not suitable for application that require constant torque or speed. To solve torque ripple and region of these problem, this paper presents a single phase Switched Reluctance Motor model with a barrier rotor pole. Also it is simulated the designed prototype model by FEM for the prediction of characteristics.

This study presents a novel method for reducing the switching losses of an asymmetric half-bridge converter for a three-phase, 12/8 switched reluctance motor operated in low speed. In particular, this study aims to reduce the switching-off losses of chopping switches in the converter when operated in the current regulated mode (chopping mode). The proposed method uses the mixed parallel operation of IGBT (chopping switch) and MOSFET (auxiliary switch). MOSFET is precisely controlled to momentarily conduct prior to the turn-off interval of the IGBT. Consequently, the voltage across the switches is clamped to approximately zero, substantially decreasing the turn-off switching losses. The analytical expressions of power losses are extensively elaborated. Compared with the conventional asymmetric half-bridge converter, the modified converter can effectively minimize the switching losses. Therefore, the efficiency of the converter is eventually improved. Computer simulation and experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

A flyback type power converter circuit for switched reluctance motor drives is presented. In this converter circuit, the energy extracted from an off going phase is stored in an additional capacitor. The energy stored is used to either be returned to the source frequently or energize the conducting phase during the conduction interval through the transformer. The additional switch to pass the energy stored in the capacitor to the source or the conducting phase is switched under a relatively low voltage condition. Its switching frequency is relatively high so that the size of the transformer can be reduced. The design guideline for the capacitor and the transformer is described. The effectiveness of the presented converter circuit is compared to other circuits through the analysis and experiment.
