This paper explains the study of controller design applied to SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) concept. This controller executes controller algorithms via ${\mu}$-processor to increase stability and precise measurement, and VHDL (Very high speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language) is designed to generate SRM driving signal. During initial period, SRM controller was designed to control .respective target RPM (Revolution per minutes) and PR (Proportional Integral Differential) coming from the PC(Personal Computer) monitor program, and receiving clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation signal and target RPM coming from the front panel, and receiving the location of rotational element and RPM generating from the position censor during activation period.

The single phase switched reluctance motor(SRM) has many merits in practical appliance because it has simple operating drive and control system, very high energy density per unit volume comparing with three phase SRM. But it has also problems to need a starting device and to generate the torque ripple. One of the major problems is a torque ripple which causes increased undesirable acoustic noise and speed ripple. This paper describes an approach to determine a rotor type to minimize the torque ripple.

This paper describes a current-shaping method for the production of constant torque of SRM under the nonlinear magnetic saturation condition. A current detection technique in the inductance increasing region and an approximation technique for modeling of nonlinear inductance profile are adopted. In the proposed system, a single switching angle control and voltage control is used to shape the current waveform for the generation of flat torque at any given load condition. Finally the validity of the proposed method was verified using a constructed 3HP 6/4 SRM.

In this paper, improved rotor position estimation for position sensorless control system of the SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) is presented. For more accurate rotor position estimation, the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based position interpolation is adapted. In the current-flux-rotor position lookup table based rotor position estimation, the inherent current and flux-linkage ripple can cause the position estimation error. Instead of the conventional low-pass filter, the PLL based position interpolation technique is used for the better dynamic performance. The developed rotor position estimation scheme is realized using TMS320F2812 digital signal processor and prototype 1-hp SRM.

Because salient pole rotor type single phase SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) has a simple structure and can be use both radial and axial direction magnetic flux at the same time, its output power per unit volume is high. Therefore, the shaft length can be minimized when compared with same output motors. However, salient pole rotor is hard to design due to its complex magnetic circuit. In this paper, salient pole rotor type single phase SRM with minimized shaft length is designed and selected the most suitable dimension of rotor, stator, pole arc and salient pole.

A single-phase power factor corrected converter for switched reluctance motor driving is presented to achieve sinusoidal, near unity power factor input currents. Because it combines a power factor corrected converter and a conventional asymmetric SRM driver into one power stage, the configuration has a simple structure resulted in low cost. A prototype to drive 6/6 poles SRM employing a parking magnet is designed to evaluate the proposed topology. The characteristics and operational mode will be discussed in depth, and the validity of proposed driver will be verified through the experimental results.

In this paper the comparison of conventional PI control and nonlinear sliding mode control is presented for Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM). SRM drives require a nonlinear controller for high dynamic Performance but the high nonlinearity makes a poor performance in conventional PI control. However SRMs with sliding mode control achieve a robust performance for speed control. In this paper nonlinear sliding mode controller is suggested for high performance speed. State equation and modeling are proposed. And we present the speed comparison of PI control and SLMC.

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 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.
