Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) offers the advantages of simple and robust motor construction, high speeds and high efficiencies over a wide operating range of torque and speed, excellent controllability. However, SRM has the disadvantages of high current harmonics, and low power factor because of a capacitor filter is inserted in the power converter and inductance of SRM is high, it has pulse waveform of current. This paper deals with an energy efficient converter fed SRM system with the reduced harmonics and improved power factor and with higher efficiency. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified via experiment. We are implemented the proposed control system using 80C196KC micro-controller.

Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) have been expanding gradually their awlications in the variable speed drives due to their relatively low cost, simple and robust structure, controllability and high efficiency. In this paper neural network theory is used to detemrine fuzzy-neural network controller's membership ftmctions and fuzzy rules. In addition neural network emulator is used to emulate forward dynamics of SRM and to get error signal at fuzzy-neural controller output layer. Error signal is backpropagated through neural network emulator. The backpropagated error of emulator offers the path which reforms the fuzzy-neural network controller's mmbership ftmctions and fuzzy rules. 32bit Digital Signal Processor(TMS320C31) was used to achieve the high speed control and to realize the fuzzy-neural control algorithm. Simulation and experimental results show that in the case of load variation the proposed control rrethcd was superior to a conventional rrethod in the respect of speed response.sponse.

This paper presents an application of SR drives for LSEV's(Low Speed Electric Vehicles) which are used for golf and leisure. Two types of 5[HP] SRM's and its drive system are designed and tested. In order to be energy saving and have effective braking during deceleration, a multi-level inverter is proposed. For the precise switching angle control, a new type of analog encoder is proposed. A current control is adopted for soft starting and an angle control is adopted at high speed to increase efficiency. Drive characteristics and performance are shown with test results.

The switched reluctance motor is an electric machine in which torque is produced by the tendency of its movable part to move to a position where the inductance of the excited winding is maxmized. It is as well as PM brushless do systems. It's many advantages-a wide speed range, and inherently simplicity and ruggedness, low manufacturing cost, make it a vigorous challenger to these drives. It is a fascinating machine with all kinds of interesting application possibilities. In this paper, the design and evaluate the performance is treated.

본 논문에서는 모델예측제어를 기반으로 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기의 전류제어기 속응성 개선을 위한 방법을 제안한다. 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기는 광범위한 속도 영역에서 운전이 가능하고 돌극형 구조로써 견고하고 강인한 구조를 갖는다. 그러나 회전자 위치에 따라 인덕턴스가 변하기 때문에 고정 이득을 가지는 비례적분 전류제어기는 과도상태 응답특성이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 모델예측제어 기법을 통해 과도상태 응답특성을 개선한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안하는 제어기법의 타당성을 검증한다.

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.

This paper proposes two SRM driving systems using a variable dc-link voltage controlled by a single-phase inverter. Two SRM converter topologies of a half bridge type and a full bridge type are proposed according to the power circuits of an inverter. The phase current can be controlled by means of a PWM controller at the inverter, and the turn-on/off angle at the phase switches can be controlled by a position sensor at the converter in the drive system. The inverter acts as a peak-current limiter if the transient current exceeds its maximum value. SRMs using the proposed topologies maintain high efficiency due to energy regeneration after the turn-off of power switches. The operational modes of the proposed topologies are verified by simulation and experimental results.

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, the shapes of the single phase SRM rotor are designed to reduce the torque ripple, to improve the efficiency.

Rotor position information is essential in the operation of the switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive for generation the phase current switching signals. When an incremental encoder is used as a rotor position sensor, the initial rotor position can not be detected. Some sensorless rotor position estimation methods also have the same problem. In these systems, to initially align the rotor, the forced alignment method has a delay and reverse rotation before the motor can start. Therefore it can not be acceptable for unidirectional drive systems. So the forced alignment method is not desirable in all drive systems and the research on the SRM drives should be directed to a system without rotor alignment. In this paper, a new detection method of initial rotor position using the rate of change of current is suggested. Firstly, di/dt versus θ/sub R/ reference table, which is the relation between the rate of change of current and rotor position, is generated and then the squared Euclidean distance method is used to estimate the rotor position based on the table. The simulated and experimental results are presented demonstrating the feasibility and accuracy of this method.

In this paper. determination method of turn-off angle in the SRM drives is proposed to maintain the high torque at a any turn-on angle, which is realized by using selHuning control method, During the sampling time. a number of P pulses from encoder are checked by using one-chip microprocessor. and compared with pre-checked a number of pulses A After calculating difference between two data, the turn-off angle moves forward or backward direction by the self-tuning m method, As repeating such process, the optimal turn-off angle is determined and the maximum torque is maintained T Though experiments, it is observed that motor speed is almost maintained if turn-off angle is adjusted automatically by s selHuning method when turn-ηn angle is changed.
