Shaft position sensing is an essential part of switched reluctance (SR) motor drive In order to synchronize the pulses of phase current with the period of rising inductance of the proper motor phase. Direct sensors such as, Hall effect and optical encoder are commonly used in SR motors. The purpose of this paper is to present an indirect shaft positioning sensing known as "sensorless " control ...

Abstract Aiming at the problem of jitter in speed when load changes abruptly during operation a synchronous reluctance motor and poor resistance to disturbance, an integral type sliding film variable structure control algorithm is proposed. The regulation controlled by mode, PI controls current regulation, Simulink simulation model system built, experiments are conducted. results show that, com...

A novel structure of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) is proposed. The proposed structure uses the benefits of the axial flux path, short flux path, segmental rotor, and flux reversal free stator motors all together to improve the torque density of the SRMs. The main geometrical, electrical and physical specifications are presented. In addition, some features of the proposed structure are comp...
