Abstract

This study proposes an improved decoupled model of mutually coupled dual-channel switched reluctance machine (DCSRM) based on the equivalent inductance and flux linkage characteristics that consider magnetic saturation in dual-channel operation (DCO) mode. A three-dimensional finite-element analysis (FEA) is used to calculate the static phase equivalent inductance of DCSRM for the simultaneous two-phase excitation with consideration of saturation. And an indirect experimental test is performed to measure the equivalent flux linkage under the simultaneous two-phase excitation and compared with the FEA results. In this improved decoupled model, the phase equivalent inductances and flux linkages in each channel are independent to each other and separately expressed as a function of rotor position and their own phase current. The static magnetic characteristics, details of modelling procedure and performances prediction for the DCSRM under DCO mode without and with consideration of saturation are compared. Finally, an experimental set-up for a 12/8 DCSRM drive system based on dSPACE is built and the simulation and experimental results are compared, which verifies high accuracy of this improved modelling method.
