Synopsis

The switched reluctance machine (SRM) is the least expensive electrical machine to produce, yet one of the most reliable. As such, research has blossomed during the last decade, and the SRM and variable drive systems using SRMs are receiving considerable attention from industry. Because they require a power electronic converter and controller to function, however, successful realization of an SRM variable drive system demands an understanding of the converter and controller subsystems and their integration with the machine. Switched Reluctance Motor Drives provides that understanding. It presents a unified view of the machine and its drive system from all of its system and subsystem aspects. With a careful balance of theory and implementation, the author develops the analysis and design of SRMs from first principles, introduces a wide variety of power converters available for driving the SRM, and systematically presents both low- and high-performance controllers. The book includes an in-depth study of acoustic noise and its minimization along with application examples that include comparisons between ac and dc drives and SRM drive. The result is the first book that provides a state-of-the-art knowledge of SRMs, power converters, and their use with both sensor-based and sensorless controllers. Switched Reluctance Motor Drives enables both students and engineers to learn all aspects of SRM drive systems and appreciate the interdependence of the various subsystems in performance optimization.

From the Back Cover

The switched reluctance machine (SRM) is the least expensive yet one of the most reliable electrical machines to produce and apply and, therefore, the focus of considerable industry attention. Engineers need to understand the integration of the machine, converter, and controller subsystems to succeed in developing SRM variable drive systems. This book thoroughly explores SRMs, their associated power converters and controllers, and their integration. It presents the analysis and design of SRMs from first principles, introduces a wide variety of converters available for driving SRMs, and develops a step-by-step procedure to model and simulate SRM drive systems.
