Simulation of Switched Reluctance Motor and Control Based on MATLAB Environment

The first part of this master project report is the literature review of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) which includes the basic principle of the switched reluctance motor, motor topologies, mathematical approach, torque production, electromagnetic, drives, converters and its applications. This part means to help to understand the working principle and properties of SRM. The second part of the report describes the work of modeling and simulating of SRM and its control drives. This model is based on the mathematical equations of SRM. All simulation results are shown in this part. The simulation results for different turn-off angle are discussed, and then the current control and speed control are applied. Some simulation results will be compared with the paper which is chosen from IEEE journal. The MATLAB code are set as m-file. In the last part, some conclusion has been discussed. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I would like to give thanks to my respected supervisor Professor Dr. Venkata Dinavahi, whom gives me plenty of help and guides the direction of my master project. With his outstanding supervision throughout the project work I have properly finished this project. Dr. Dinavahi acted not only as my project supervisor but also as a guardian entire time. I would also like to give my gratitude to Professor Ying Tsui for his kind and useful guidance throughout the program. I also like to thank Ms. Pinder Bains and all the supporting staff of the department for all the help given to me to complete this project.
