SIMULATION OF TORQUE CONTROL SRATEGY FOR

SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MACHINE OPERATING IN

CONTINUOUS CONDUCTION MODE
ABSTRACT
The switched reluctance motor(SRM) has a simple design consists of a rotor without
windings and stator with windings located at the poles. The inherent simplicity, ruggedness, and
low cost of SRM make it possess strong competition in many adjustable speed and servo-type
applications. Due to is non linear magnetic and mechanical characteristics torque ripple is
produced in these machines. Direct Torque Control(DTC) is one of the control method which is
widely used for the mitigation of torque ripples. In DTC without angle adjustment(turn on &
conduction angles) resulting torque is higher or lower than the desired torque. This drawback of
DTC is overcome by some advanced control techniques.
In this project, a new torque control method is used. In this conduction angle is
readjusted using a current regulation algorithm. SRM non linear model is simulated in
MATLAB-SIMULINK using current and torque look up tables. These look up tables are created
using the magnetization data of SRM.
