SRM has not been put into practical applications widely because of its large torque ripple, acoustic noise and low power factor. In addition, a traditional position sensor is needed for the drive control. So we propose an improved sensorless drive method of Switched Reluctance Motors using impressed voltage pulses. Conventional impressed voltage pulse method has a problem of phase delay because of low-pass filter. So in this paper we propose an unproved sensorless driving method based on the impressed voltage pulse using new pulse-shift circuit technique that overcomes the phase delay and start-up problem. Proposed method is implemented in a simple analog circuit instead of using an expensive DSP.

This paper represent improved on-line turn off angle control schemes for switched reluctance motors based on current control. For the purpose of finding the optimal commutation switching angle point with improved controller, it is utilized turn on and turn off position calculation with inductance vs. current vs. not linkage analysis method. The goal of proposed paper is the maximization of the energy conversion per stroke and torque ripple reduction and obtaining approximately flat-topped current waveform. The proposed control scheme is demonstrated simulation and on a prototype experimental system.

A Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) has double salient poles structure and the phase windings are wound in stator. SRM hase more simple structure that of other motor, thus manufacture cost is low, mechanically strong, reliable to a poor environment such as high temperature, and maintenance cost is low because of brushless. SRM needs position detector to get rotator position information for phase excitation and tachometer or encoder for constant speed operation. But, this paper doesn\`s use an encoder of high cost for velocity measurement of rotator. Instead of it, the algorithm for position detection and velocity estimation from simple slotted disk has been proposed and developed. To implement variable speed digital control system with velocity estimation algorithm, the TMS320F240-20MIPS fixed point arithmetic processor of TI corporation is used. The experimental results of the developing system are enable to control speed with wide range, not only single pulse, hard chopping mode and soft chopping, ut also variable speed control, and advance angle control.

In this paper, reliable switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive system and 4-rule based fuzzy logic modifier(FLM) of the conventional PI controller are presented. The i80C196KC, low-cost one-chip microcontroller is used for designing SRM drive controller which include the speed controller and the starting sequence. The fuzzy logic modifier which exhibits a stabilizing effects on the closed-loop system, has good robustness regarding the improperly tuned PI controller. The simulation and experimental results are performed to verify the capability of proposed control method on 6/4 salient type SRM.

Recently. switched reluctance motor is noticed because it is simple in structure and mechanically strong. SRM has great competitive power, and the study is developed about improving the characteristics of SRM. The current density of winding becomes larger in designing SRM that has the characteristics of the low voltage and high current. Hence the current density of SRM of a vehicle is high. And in order that we drive SRM in variable speed and protect the switching device. the current of SRM is limited by chopping. So it is impossible to obtain object value of output characteristics by limited current. In this paper, the author design the shape of SRM from Miller's output equation, and verify the design of SRM by using FEM. The waveform of chopping current is predicted by simulation and concur with experimental result. And the torque is improved by applying overlap current.

A novel control scheme for a Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) drive is described. The control scheme which is to increase torque, to decrease torque ripples and easy to commutate is suggested. The conditions for high torque drive which includes flat-topped phase current and voltage control arc analyzed and adopted in this control scheme. Flat-topped current is achived via dc-link voltage control. The suggested control system was tested to verify this suggestion.

This paper presents the application algorithm for speed control of Switched Reluctance Motor. The conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial applications. But it is very difficult to find the optimal PI control gain. Fuzzy control does not need any model of plant. It is based on plant operator experience and heuristics. The proposed fuzzy logic modifier increases the control performance of conventional PI controller. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed fuzzy control method was superior to the conventional PI controller in the respect of system performance. The experiments are performed to verify the capability of proposed control method on 6/4 salient type SRM.

The sensorless scheme for Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) dives must have the robustness and reliability because the noise and error are sensitive. These elements make electrically noisy environments due to the proximity of high current power circuits with small signal electronic circuits when SRM drives. Also the leakage inductances and finite coupling capacitances these can cause the noise on any low voltage current and voltage measurement. the error can occur because the current and voltage including the noise are used as the input of sensorless algorithm In this paper the high robustness and resistance of input noise are described and the fuzzy logic based rotor estimation algorithm is used to reduce the tolerance of input data.
