Speed Control of Switched Reluctance Motor using PI controller with Modified Asymmetric Converter- Industrial Application

This paper presents passive boost converter fed three phase switched reluctance motor using PI Controller. The operating mode of proposed converter circuit is discussed. The proposed converter is capable of minimizing the torque ripple because of faster excitation and demagnetization and also improving the average torque compared to the conventional converter circuit. The objective of this paper to achieve a desired speed response with effective controller. The simulation results are carried out by using MATLAB/SIMULINK and the corresponding results are presented. This paper shows the effect of load disturbance, effect of switching angle, speed variation on the speed of switched reluctance motor. The simulation results revealed that the effectiveness of proposed converter using PI controller on the motor performance. It is well suited for industrial application.
