Affordable Reference in Different Techniques of Switched Reluctance Motor Driving and Controlling

The presented paper studies different types of strategies for Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) controlling. In SRM control, the rotor position is the most important parameter which all controlling methods try to achieve it. Two strategies are used in SRM driving: direct and indirect strategies. Direct strategies use position detection sensors in order to detect the rotor position. Indirect techniques don’t use any detection sensor and rotor position find out by using the relationship between some parameters of the motor like phase current, coil flux, etc. Indirect strategies have many advantages over direct strategies but their implementation is more complex. The most attractive SRM controlling methods are studied and explained in this paper and at the end the best methods are introduced based on the best efficiency, simplicity and cost.
