Abstract

It is demonstrated how the overall performance of a switched reluctance drive can be improved by using different control strategies for different regions of the torque-speed diagram. For a 4-phase 30 kW machine these strategies are fitted by connecting different optimizing routines with a simulation program. The importance of a correct tuning of the control parameters like turn-on angle, turn-off angle, reference current and size of the hysteresis band is demonstrated for a current controlled drive. Furthermore, the test bench and the measurement procedure for the experimental verification and comparison to the simulation are presented
