Automatic control of turn on position control of switched reluctance motor: article

This paper present a new approach to the automatic control of the turn-on angle used excite the switched reluctance motor (SRM). Switched reluctance motor output can be varied simply by controlling the switching angles. Such control flexibility however tends to increase considerably the magnitude of the motor design tuning process. In attempting to reduce the amount of design calculation, it is very desirable to be able to define before the design process is started the rated operating condition of a switched reluctance drive in terms of set of switching angles A closed form turn on angle equation based on linear SRM model is introduced. The control of SRM is implemented in Matlab. Simulation result is found to be is accordance to theory.
