Simulation and analysis of switched reluctance motor using fuzzy controller

Abstract

This project presents the idea of using the switched reluctance motor (SRM) as an alternative to previously used drives, in white good and other industrial applications. In order to show the advantage of the SRM, the SRM is described explaining how it works and why it is a better option. The main focus of project is the role of the controller. The fuzzy logic controller is to be used to control the SRM drive. The simulated performance of SRM drive system is presented to analyze the effect of fixed value of turn -off angle on transient and steady state performance of the drive in terms of speed, current and torque response. The advantages inherent in fixed turn-off angle control scheme are emphasized.
