Sizing and control of a typical 6/4 switching reluctance motor

Abstract

The aim of this study is to present a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM 6/4) design and control. The use of numerical model for the design of the SRM gives better results compared to the simplified analytical model. The application of the Modified Direct Torque Controller (MDTC) to SRM significantly improves effectiveness of static and dynamic performance compared to field-oriented control and direct torque control, especially in decreasing torque ripple. Finally, the use of a fractional order controller PIaDb allowed the elaboration of a new model on DTC of SRM. The results obtained show a significant performance improvement compared to the classical controller method.
