Viscoelastic property tuning for reducing noise radiated by switched-reluctance machines

Low-Noise Switched Reluctance Drive

Switched Reluctance (SR) Motor Drive is of great topical interest. It has the potential lo emerge as a viable option for variable speed applications. Though simple in construction, the motor is quite rugged, and has many attractive /eatures like high torque-to-inertia ratio, fault tolerance, and high eficiency. A number of converter topologies are prescribed for driving the motor. However, its ...

A Comparative Study on Modeling Methods for Switched Reluctance Machines

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) has many specific advantages and has being gradually used in all kinds of applications. However, because it’s inherently multivariable, strong-coupling and highly nonlinear, there are lots of difficulties to build its model. In this paper, many modeling methods include numerical, analytical and intelligent approaches are studied and compared in terms of complexit...

Voltage control of switched reluctance machines for Hybrid Electric Vehicles

The rugged low-cost construction and constant power profile of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) make it suitable for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). This paper describes the development of a voltage-based control strategy for a SRM. The controller design is influenced by project constraints and goals as well as the use of a new power topology. A prototype SRM and controller were built and ful...

Hierarchical Distributed Motion Control for Multiple Linear Switched Reluctance Machines

This paper investigates a distributed, coordinated motion control network based on multiple direct-drive, linear switched reluctance machines (LSRMs). A hierarchical, two-level synchronization control strategy is proposed for the four LSRMs based motion control network. The high-level, reference signals agreement algorithm is first employed to correct the asynchronous behaviors of the position ...
