This paper presents a simulation results of sensorless control of Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) using neural network. The basic algorithm of this scheme is based on the flux linkage characteristic according to the phase current and the rotor position. A sufficient simulation data was used for neural network training. Through measurement of the phase flux linkage and phase currents the neural network is able to estimate the rotor position. The simulation result shows some good results, and possibility of this algorithm.

This paper proposes two SRM driving systems using a variable dc-link voltage controlled by a single-phase inverter. Two SRM converter topologies of a half bridge type and a full bridge type are proposed according to the power circuits of an inverter. The phase current can be controlled by means of a PWM controller at the inverter, and the turn-on/off angle at the phase switches can be controlled by a position sensor at the converter in the drive system. The inverter acts as a peak-current limiter if the transient current exceeds its maximum value. SRMs using the proposed topologies maintain high efficiency due to energy regeneration after the turn-off of power switches. The operational modes of the proposed topologies are verified by simulation and experimental results.

An active boost converter for a single phase SRM using series-parallel connected capacitors is proposed in this paper. The proposed active boost converter has two diodes and one power switch with an anti-parallel diode and one additional boost capacitor. The additional boost capacitor could be series or parallel connected to the dc-link capacitor to produce proper excitation and demagnetization voltage. The proposed active boost converter can easily achieve a fast excitation and demagnetization from the capacitor connection. In this paper, series and parallel connected converters are reviewed, and the detailed operating modes as well as the voltage characteristics of the proposed converter are analyzed. The simulation and experimental results shows the effectiveness of the proposed active boost converter.

This paper deals with dynamic simulation and design characteristic of Linear Switched Reluctance Motor (LSRM). First, we derived design factor from pole arc ratio of stator and mover. Second, we decided design parameter from design factor using time constant. Finally, analyze dynamic characteristics for LSRM using simulation.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) has a considerable potential for industrial applications because of its high reliability as a result of the absence of rotor windings. In some applications with SRM, a parallel switching strategy is often used for cost saving, increasing of current capacity and system reliability. This paper proposes a new parallel switching strategy of SRM using parallel winding. While conventional parallel switching devices are connected in a phase winding, power devices are connected in the parallel windings wound in each pole of stator in the proposed method. Paralleling strategy for current sharing in the proposed method can be easily determined without considerations of any nonlinear characteristics of power devices such as conduction resistance, threshold voltage and gain factor. The proposed paralleling strategy is verified by the mathematical analysis and experimental results.

This paper describes a new methods of detecting rotor position in SRM(switched reluctance motor). The Conventional method of position sensorless control for SRM is measuring phase current and pulse voltage applied in unexcited phase. The estimation of rotor position based on the detection of inductance by pulse current. Implementation is via low-cost electronic circuits with DSP320F241. Test results show that this technique is a possible approach to detect the rotor position of an SRM.

This paper presents the switching angle and the 1/2-phase hybrid exciting method to minimize torque ripple in the 6/4 Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). The inductance in SRM is dependent on rotor position and current. Therefore, the inductance profile is expressed as an approximate function based on FEM data. And then, the dynamic characteristics are simulated by Matlab simulink using the derived inductance function. The torque ripple resulting from single phase exciting and 1/2-phase hybrid exciting is compared.

The single-phase SRM(switched reluctance motor) has only one inductance variation and the positive torque is not generated in all section. So, the single-phase SRM can be started by itself if the rotor is placed at the positive slope of inductance variation by the starting device. In the previous study, equation of the magnetic force of the starting device at the acting point is derived. This paper describes the calculation of the magnetic force at the acting point by making an experiments.

This paper describes a novel method of detecting excitation position in Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) drive. Some strategics for position sensorless control methods of the SRM include the measurement of phase current. The principle of the rotor position estimation is based on the defection of phase current according to rotor position. This sensorless method is very simple to detect excitation position estimation and gives efficient control of drive system. The suggested method is verified by some simulations and experimental tests
