| Summary: | Variable Reluctance Motor, also known as Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM), is a
promising candidate for a wide range of applications. Besides its extremely simple and
rugged construction, its unipolar current requirements also allow for a great variety of power
converter topologies with minimal number of power semiconductor switches. This thesis
reviews the known topologies, and describes the application of FEM-based simulation
technique for SRM drive system, the analysis and comparison of typical topologies, and the
proposition of a new topology. Mathematical analysis, simulations of the entire drive system,
as well as results of experimental implementation are included in the thesis. |
