Bearingless switched reluctance motor (BSRM) has the advantages of high integration and low loss, is especially suitable for flywheel batteries. In order to enhance reliability fault tolerance ability BSRM, a novel dual-channel BSRM proposed in this paper. This combined merits magnetic bearing, can realize fault-tolerant operation. The scalloped rotor poles are evenly distributed on inner outer...

The performance of Switched Reluctance (SR) motor drive systems using rotor position transducers has been satisfactory, but the potential of SR drives for providing economical, robust, compact and reliable drive systems which can operate in harsh environments, has made the development of sensorless system desirable. A system which can detect rotor position without a conventional position sensor...

Fuzzy logic or fuzzy set theory is recently getting increasing emphasis in process control applications. This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic control (FLC) for switched reluctance motor (SRM) speed. The (FLC) technique finds its stronger justification in the utilization of a robust control law to model uncertainties. A fuzzy logic controller of the motor speed is then designed and ...
