Automated control system for valve-inductor drives

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to create a unified control system for a series of five- and six-phase Switched Reluctance Drives (SRDs) with a regulated DC link, with a power range from 1.1 to 32.5 kW. The relevance of the work is determined by the need to create a domestic competitive electric drive for mobile objects (transport, fleet) powered by an unstable DC on-board network. The research focuses on developing a control system structure that ensures the minimization of torque ripple and noise due to multi-phase design and the absence of current limiting. An adaptive speed controller with torque limiting is proposed to enhance the smoothness of start-up and protect the drive.
