Simulating Controlled Reluctance Motor

Abstract

The objective of the study is to control an ultra-high speed switched reluctance motor generator. Ansys simulation process is used here to achieve sensor less control over the entire speed range. Different rated speeds are applied, and inductance profiles are found. A full speed range sensor less closed-loop control system is implemented using current gradient measurement. To obtain sensor less control over the entire speed range, the open-loop control and closed-loop control are taken place. The results obtained from the simulations can be useful for automotive turbocharger assistance and energy recovery.
