Abstract

High speed switched reluctance drives have found a good place in multifarious industries such as blowers، centrifuges and turning machines، because of their simple and robust structure، and appropriate operating at very high speeds. Losing the capability of high torque production at high speeds is one of the main problems that high speed drives deal with. Different methods have already been proposed to overcome this obstacle. Some of them have paid their attention to motor design and some other to control design. In this paper a novel method has proposed to control of high speed switched reluctance motor using both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes. Having four control parameters، This new method can control the machine torque in continuous conduction mode. To verify the effectiveness of the method، simulation using software were implemented.
