Abstract

This study presents a speed control design for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive powered by a fuel cell system. The whole control mechanism consists of a hysteresis current controller. The control design results are then validated on a two-mode RT-Lab™ platform, together with a fuel cell stack model developed in Emmeskay Inc. It is noted that, although the P-I control is designed based on a low-order simplified model, for simulation purpose, the nonlinear inductance model of a 8/6 SRM is used with classic power chopper.
