Structural Analysis of 8/6 Switched Reluctance Motor Linear and Non-linear Models

Abstract

This work presents the process of obtaining the simplified model of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) 8/6. Subsequently, the structure of the single-phase model is analyzed, obtaining an exact linearization and zero dynamics of the system. Finally, the model is linearized at an operating point set at 2000 rpm The model includes Coulomb plus viscous friction nonlinearity and an ideal inverter circuit based on bridge converter topology. The simplified and linear models are simulated and compared in the Matlab®/Simulink software in order to validate the design of a classic controller using the linear model.
