An adaptive online flux-linkage estimation method for the sensorless control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive is presented in this paper. Sensorless operation is achieved through a binary observer based algorithm. In order to avoid using the look up tables of motor characteristics, which makes the system, depends on motor parameters, an adaptive identification algorithm is used to estim...

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...

A Matlab/Simulink/SRDaS environment to simulate a 6/4 Switched Reluctance Motor is presented in this paper. The proposed simulation model of the Switched Reluctance Motor for its linear inductance profile is instigated. All simulations are completely documented by their block diagrams and corresponding Matlab functions. The developed simulation model results were compared with SRDaS software pa...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) is an energy converter that converts an electrical energy to mechanical energy in motoring operation and vice-versa in generating operation. When the rotor is out of alignment, the inductance is very low and the current also increase rapidly. The rotor is aligned with the stator then the inductance become very large. In the simulation results, how the rotor minim...

Problem statement: The main objective of this research is to obtain the speed control of switched reluctance motor with minimum settling time and without overshoot. Approach: A new algorithm has been developed with the combination of differential evolution and particle swarm optimization and applied for speed control of switched reluctance motor under sudden change in speed. Also speed control ...
