Abstract

An example of the simulation of a closed loop controlled electric drive that shows the feasibility of simulating this equipment by means of a general purpose electronic circuit analysis program is described. A SPICE program is used owing to its well-known facility for simulating electronic circuits. Its application to the control of a switched reluctance drive is presented. A way to extend SPICE to the simulation of the electromechanical energy conversion and the drive control is also presented. A closed-loop speed control is considered, and the simulation results are validated by experimental tests executed on an industrial drive.<>
