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 and evolutionary programming The information of position and speed is generally provided by encoder or resolve. 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, indirect position sensing method using sliding mode observer is used for SRM drives. But if sliding mode observer parameters are selected to be large, the corresponding rapid changes of estimated position and velocity result in chattering phenomenon. Therefore in order to reduce the chattering, this observer parameters are optimized by evolutionary programming. And PID controller is also optimized to track precisely for the SRM using evolutionary programming.

SRMs are difficult to design using a simple mathematical model and, consequently, numerical analysis based characteristics analysis is used including drive circuits. In this process, it is necessary to analyze the trends according to the change of the design factors, however, many of the design factors affect each other. In order to shorten the design time and achieve a proper design, a modeling technique based on the design parameters is needed. For this purpose, this paper summarizes the formulas employed for shape modeling by minimizing the number of major design factors of the SRM, and proposes a methodology for SRM design using these formulas. In particular, we propose a design method for a 6/4-pole model, one which has been studied for a long time, and showed an example of a design produced by the proposed method.

In this paper the characteristic analysis of a single-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive system with power factor correction (PFC) circuit is presented. The SRM is a low cost, simple and has a good high speed performance. The SRM drive with diode rectifier and filter capacitor has a low power factor because of short switch on time of capacitor. A novel switching topologic is presented to improve power factor and reduce torque ripple based on analysis of PFC circuit. Accordingly the SRM drive system with PFC circuit is also presented. Through the numerical analysis of the system, the toque ripple, power factor and efficiency with the change of rotary speed, load torque and capacity of the capacitor are achieved and compared with actual measured value.
