Cost-Effective SRM Speed Control with Single Sensor
A System for Controlling the Speed/Torque of a Switched Reluctance Motor
Tags: IIT Delhi, India, Energy & Environment, Industrial Automation & Manufacturing
A system has been developed to control the speed and torque of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) using a single current sensor. This innovation allows current information from all four phases to be extracted and fed into the control drive, simplifying the motor control system. By reducing the number of sensors and related circuitry, the system lowers costs without compromising performance. It enhances efficiency in energy management and industrial motor applications. A prototype has been developed and tested in a simulated environment for a 1 kW, 4-phase SRM.
