Novel simulation approach to analyses the performance of SRM drive with ZETA converter

In this study, a fourth-generation DC-DC ZETA converter using two capacitors, two inductors fed switched reluctance motor drive is proposed for improving the power quality at front-end. The Zeta converter has received least attention as compared to other equivalent converter like push-pull, Cuk & SEPIC. A single phase sinusoidal ac supply followed by conventional DBR unit and a Zeta converter is used. The output of Zeta converter is applied to switched reluctance motor through MOSFET based machine converter. The operation of machine converter based on various feedback loops like torque, speed etc. The MATLAB simulation is employed to developed model to achieve a wide range of input voltage with improved power factor & low level of total harmonic distrotion (THD).
