Systematic design of switched reluctance motor drive based on the intelligent computational software package

Abstract

The principles for the design of the switched reluctance motor drive are presented using a three-phase 12/8 structure switched reluctance motor drive for the robot joint as a example. The design can be done from the systematic point of view, considering the motor, power converter and control strategy as a whole. The output equation relating to the relationship between the structure parameters and the electric loads is derived. The equation of the turn numbers of the phase winding is also considered. The design procedure is given. Some of the interfaces of the intelligent computational software package used for the Windows 9/spl times/ (in English) are given. The design is checked by the prototype. The accuracy is checked by the experimental measurement of the developed prototype. It is shown that the design has the advantages in practice and high precision.
