Hysteresis current control of switched reluctance motor using three term inductance model

Abstract

The phase inductance of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is a function of position and stator current. To predict the performance of the motor an accurate model is required. This paper deals with modeling and analysis of Switched Reluctance Motor with Three Term Inductance model. In Three-Term Inductance method, the motor is modeled by estimating the inductance at three different positions of the rotor i.e aligned position, misaligned position and unaligned position. These inductances are evaluated through Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The Non-linear model of motor is developed in SIMULINK and performance with Hysteresis Current Control is analyzed.
