Abstract

The stator winding current commutation timing is the central subject of switched reluctance motor control. The direct use of coil inductance information for current commutation is introduced in this paper. The drawbacks of position-based commutation, in the presence of drifting electrical parameters, are overcome by using the instantaneous coil inductance information. Algorithms to optimize torque using this approach are also presented in this paper
