Modeling and control of switched reluctance motor for automotive applications

الملخص EN

Switched reluctance machines, because oftheirsimple construction and low manufacturing cost are gaining importance in considération for automotive applications.

Recently, SRMs have been considered for use as a propulsion motor in electric and hybrid vehicle applications.

The major limitations ofthe switched reluctance machine technology are its acoustic noise and high torque ripple as compared to other types of electric machines.

Recently two primary approaches to reduce the torque pulsations were essentially developed.

One method is to improve the magnetic design of the motor, while the other is to use sophisticated electronic control techniques.

In this work, modeling, simulation and analysis of Switched Reluctance motor has been done.

Two control loops-conventionalPI controller based speed loop and conventionalhysteresis controller current loop- have been used.

The whole work is done in Matlab/Simulink environment.
