Paper Title
Comparative Performance Analysis Of Switched Reluctance Motor Using Converter Topology
Abstract
Switched Reluctance motor (SRM) is gaining
prominence due to its simple and rugged construction,
absence of permanent magnets, low cost, fault tolerant
capability and development in power electronics. The
primary disadvantage of an SRM is the higher torque ripple
with conventional machines, which contribute to acoustic
noise and vibrations. The torque ripple can be reduced by
improving the magnetic design of the motor and by using
sophisticated electronic control techniques. This paper
presents a comparative performance of an SRM for various
parameters such as torque, current, and speed using
asymmetric bridge converter, miller converter and modified
miller converter topologies. Performance is simulated in
Matlab environment considering three phase 6/4 SRM at no
load.
