Novel Variable Reluctance N-speed Synchro and its Application for Synchronous Reluctance Motor Drive.

Maximum Torque Control of a Sensorless Synchronous Reluctance Motor Drive

The algorithmic structure of a vector controller capable of high quality speed control of a synchronous reluctance motor with and without the use of a rotor position sensor is presented in this paper. The controller is based on a conventional saturated machine d-q model. Its main merit is that it can be operated in a sensorless control mode by executing a new, very accurate parameter dependent ...

Sub-optimal Algorithm Second-order Sliding Mode Control for a Synchronous Reluctance Motor Speed Drive

A sub-optimal algorithm second-order sliding mode controller (SOSMC) was presented for a synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) speed drive. SOSMC is an effective tool for the control of uncertain nonlinear systems since it overcomes the main chattering drawback of conventional sliding mode control. The practical implementation of SOSMC has simple control laws and assures an improvement in slidin...

an Efficient Drive Circuit for Switched Reluctance Motor

The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It uses the C-dump topology in which the trapped energy in the phase windings is returned to the supply capacitor to be used in the following strokes. In addition to the C-dump topology, it uses two extra feedbacks. One comes from a governor mounted on the shaft of motor which contro...

Energy-Based Adaptive Sliding Mode Speed Control for Switched Reluctance Motor Drive

Torque ripple minimization of switched reluctance motor drives is a major subject based on these drives’ extensive use in the industry. In this paper, by using a well-known cascaded torque control structure and taking the machine physical structure characteristics into account, the proposed energy-based (passivity-based) adaptive sliding algorithm derived from the view point of energy dissipati...
