This paper presents a comparison of core losses for the four cases of Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) with different winding method and switching sequence. With concentrated winding SRM, two kinds of switching sequence are considered for one-phase exciting and two-phase simultaneously exciting driving. With both distributed winding and toroidal winding, two-phase exciting driving is considered. The ratio of calculated core losses to input power is able to be used a guide or reference for deciding the winding method and switching sequence of in the initial design stage of SRM.

By on-line estimating the self-inductance of the motor, the rotor position of the SR motor is obtained, and a closed-loop drive system can be achieved. Proposed methods can easy implement to application with sensorless SR motor drive system. SR motor simulation executed with self inductance estimation and result represented. Simulation result verified the rotor position using the proposed self-inductance estimation method.

The single phase switched reluctance motor has simple, robust structure and economical drive system. So, it is useful to apply in the industrial and home applied machines. Especially, the single phase induction motor, used much in field, has a low efficiency and control ability. For the replacement of it, the single phase SRM is presented. In this paper, the design and characteristics of single phase SRM considering the rotor shape will be presented in the base of general electric motor design method and poly phase SRM design method.

In recent years, permanent magnets such as IPM (Interior Permanent Magnet) motors or SPM (Surface Permanent Magnet) motors that can obtain high efficiency and power density by inserting rare earth permanent magnets into the rotor are used. Research on the used electric motor is being actively conducted. Since it uses a permanent magnet, it has the advantage of high efficiency and high power density compared to reluctance motors and induction motors, but by inserting a permanent magnet into the rotor, it operates at high speeds and decreases reliability due to demagnetization of the permanent magnets, and increases the cost of rare earth metals. In this paper, in accordance with the development of future technology that can replace rare-earth permanent magnet motors and technological preoccupation of rare-earth reduction type motors and de-rare-earth motors, switched reluctance motors that do not require permanent magnets (Switched Reluvtance Motors) Motor, SRM) to drive driving control. Using the 3-phase SRM library provided by the PSIM simulation program, we will study the driving and control system modeling of SRM using the rotor position information sensor.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors can secure high power density and efficiency, but have problems in that the materials required for manufacturing are expensive and design is somewhat more difficult than induction motors. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an optimal motor that considers both efficiency and maintenance convenience and related control research. In addition, driving by a practical motor leads to a request to increase the highest efficiency in a narrow rated range, an increase in average efficiency in the entire electric driving range, and an increase in average output. Due to this movement, a reluctance motor that does not require a permanent magnet is being considered as an alternative. In this paper, in line with the issues of the times that require the development of future technology that can replace rare earth permanent magnet motors and the technological preemption of rare earth reduction motors and rare earth motors, switched reluctance motors without permanent magnet For motor, SRM), modeling through machine language (C language) and the characteristics of SRM accordingly are to be studied.

In this paper, 6/4 Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) which has simple structure and little switching element is selected basic analysis model. In order to reduce torque ripple causing noise and vibration, we execute optimization of geometric parameters (stator and rotor pole arc) and electrical parameters (turn-on angle and turn-of angle) by means of combining Fletcher-Reeves's Conjugate Directions and Finite Element Method (FEM) considering driving circuits. When considering the switching condition according to inductance profile, torque characteristics is influenced by geometric and electrical parameters importantly. The pole arc and switching angle of the optimum can also obtain the low torque ripple without high currents.

The single-phase switched reluctance motor(SRM) generates the positive torque in the restricted section. So, it can not started by itself and the torque ripple is heavier than poly-phase. For self-starting and fixing rotating direction, the rotor should be placed at the rising inductance slope when stationary. The parking permanent magnet locates the rotor in the fixed position, which can be started by it-self. It is very simple and cost effective but has some drawbacks. It affects the rotor during the operation, so the characteristics of motor, such as a torque, speed, and ripple are changed to go bad. This paper presents the detent torque of parking magnet starting device through the finite element analysis and experiments. The finite element analysis is performed at incremental rotor positions over one detent torque cycle for any one pole. The prototype, fabricated in the previous research, is used for the experiments. The inductance, instant torque, and detent torque are calculated using the terminal voltage and phase current. Finally, the finite element analysis result and the experiment result are compared for analysis and validity.

In this paper, detection of rotor position at standstill of toroidal switched reluctance motor(TSRM) with built-in search coils using neural network is proposed. When search coils are used as a position sensor, it has many advantages like low cost, decrease in the volume, high robust characteristics and wide applications. However, the initial rotor position detection is very difficult because the search coil's EMF doesn't exist at standstill. In this paper, detection of initial rotor position of TSRM with built-in search coils using neural network is suggested. The experiment for the proposed method are presented. As a result of that, the accuracy and validity of the proposed method is verified.

Recently, SRMs are used in automobiles for power assistant steering, accessory motion control and traction drives. Especially in the motion control and traction drives, safety and efficiency are of paramount important. The paper describes the essential elements, faced in designing and constructing drive circuits for a switched reluctance motor for automobiles. These converters will be referred to as energy efficient C-dump converter and modified C-dump converter Energy efficient C-dump converter topology eliminate all the disadvantages of the C-dump converter without sacrificing its attractive features, and also provide some additional advantages that have lower number of power devices, full regenerative capability, free-wheeling in chopping or PWM mode, simple control strategy, and faster demagnetization during commutation. The experiments are peformed to verify the capability of proposed control method on 6/4 salient type SRM.

In a switched reluctance motor drive, it is important to synchronize the stator phase excitation with the rotor position, Therefore the position of rotor is an essential information. Although high resolution optical encoder/resolvers we used to provide a precise position information, these sensors are expensive. And switching angles synchronizing using sensorless technique has some problems like a reliability and fluctuating of the preset value in the high-speed region, which is caused by the sampling period of the microprocessor. In this paper, a low cost analog encoder suitable for practical applications is proposed. And the control algorithm to generate switching signals using a simple digital logic is presented. The validity of the proposed analog encoder with a proper logic controller is verified from the experiments.
