Modeling Switched Reluctance Motors under Multi-Phase Excitation, Part 1

摘要

Part 1 of 3 of the Second Annual Report covers 'modeling' activities performed under task (b) - 'Design of the SRM' of this ONR Grant. This Part 1 has been divided into three sections. Section A evaluates different modeling techniques for Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) operating under single-phase excitation. Section B analyzes two specific techniques for single-phase excitation; namely, the gage curve and look-up-table' modeling techniques. Finally, Section C addresses two specific techniques for multi-phase excitation of SRM; one technique is based on the look-up-table' used for single-phase excitation, and the other implements an Artificial Neural Network to predict the flux linkage and electromagnetic torque.
