Energy recovery in the regenerative region is very important when SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) is used in traction drive. This is because that to reduce energy loss during mechanical braking and/or to have a high efficiency drive during braking. To control excitation voltage in motor operation and regenerative voltage in the generator operation in the SRM, multi-level voltage control is effective. This paper suggests multi-level inverter which is useful for motoring and regenerative operation in SRM.

In this study, a novel single phase soft switched power factor correction (PFC) converter is developed with active snubber cell. The active snubber cell provides boost switch both to turn on with zero voltage transition (ZVT) and to turn off with zero current transition (ZCT). As the switching losses in the proposed converter are too low, L and C size can be reduced by increasing the operating frequency. Also, all the semiconductor devices operate with soft switching. There is no additional voltage stress in the boost switch and diode. The proposed converter has a simple structure, low cost and ease of control as well. It has a simple control loop to achieve near unity power factor with the aid of the UC3854. In this study, detailed steady state analysis of the proposed converter is presented and this theoretical analysis is verified by a prototype of 100 kHz and 500 W converter. The measured power factor and efficiency are 0.99 and 97.9% at full load.

In most power electronic applications, the AC power input provided by the electronic utility needs to first converted to a DC voltage. Such conversion is accomplished by a diode rectifier due to its circuit simplicity and low cost. However, since diode rectifiers have some intrinsic problems such as low power factor and high harmonic distortion, a wide use of such rectifiers may cause noises, malfunction and heat damage in both electrical power systems and electrical machinery systems. This paper proposes soft switched three-phase single switch boost-type converter. The proposed circuit can perform Zero Voltage Switched(ZVS) without using any current and voltage sensors. For this circuit, both simulation and experiments have been performed. The results not only confirmed the ZVS but also indicated that, compared to the conventional hard switched converter, the prosed circuit can improve the efficiency as much as 1.7 to 4.7[%] while keeping the same high power factor and small harmonic distortion in their AC input.

For a Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) drive, the important things are 1) reducing torque ripple, 2) improving efficiency, 3) sensorless speed control, 4) accurate position. The position information impotant for the efficiency and smoothness drives. Since SRMs characteristics are nonlinear. It is difficult to estimated phase current in saturation region. This paper describes a method for indirect sensing of the rotor position in SRM which use both voltage and current. The method obtains rotor position by using unconducting phase. The information about the rotor position is achieved by differentiating the unconducting phase current or the voltage gradient. And then, this paper presents a torque control with indirect rotor position detection methods. This torque control is achieved by developing a detailed nonlinear model of the motor.

A design and analysis program is proposed for switched reluctance motor using an analytical method and a CAD program LabVIEW. The algorithm uses conventional permeance method, in which flux linkages, inductances and torques are calculated numerically. In order to analyze a dynamic characteristics of the motor, voltage control scheme is fallen and a single pulse operation is applied. 2 SRM models are analyzed under the given specifications and constraints. The results compared with measured data.

풍력발전은 풍력단지가 전력계통과 접속되는 모선의 전압을 유지 또는 제어하기 위한 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 풍력단지와 계통 접속점(POI - Point of Interconnection) 모선을 연결하는 선로의 무효전력 손실 때문에 풍력터빈의 무효전력공급은 접속점의 전압을 제어하기에는 불충분하다. 이 문제는 접속점에 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)과 같은 부수적인 무효전력 보상장치를 설치하여 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 STATCOM과 Switched-Shunt, 탭변환 변압기와 같은 기존의 무효전력 보상장치의 협조제어를 사용하면 더욱 효과적으로 접속점 모선의 전압을 제어할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법을 이용하여 초기부하에 대하여 임의의 부하 변동률을 가지는 모의 시스템에 적용한 결과 접속점 모선의 전압강하는 60%이상 개선되었고 부하 모선의 전압은 정격전압의 95%이상을 유지하였다.

This paper presents a characteristic analysis of switched reluctance motor (SRM) considering switching control method and DC link voltage ripple by using time-stepped voltage source finite element method in which the magnetic field is combined with drive circuit. We also examine the influence of freewheeling diodes and DC link voltage ripple on the performance of the SRM such as torque ripples and radial force on the surface of the teeth. The freewheeling diodes and DC link voltage ripples must be taken into account to predict the performance of SRM.

The application of SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) is dramatically increasing due to a simple mechanical structure, high efficiency and a good high speed characteristics. To control high conduction ratio in motor operation and regenerative voltage in the generator operation multi-level voltage control is effective. This paper proposes multi-level inverter to have a maximum conduction ratio of SRM. The proposed method is verified by experiments.
