Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic model successfully applied to simulate the operation of a switched reluctance machine. The model takes nonlinearity into account inserting machine parameters and properties as tabulated data. Part of the information was obtained by the method of finite element simulation. The power electronic converter and its control circuits are included as controlled sources in the simulation model. Finally, simulation results are compared with measurements on a laboratory prototype, in order to validate the proposed model.
