EXTENDING THE SPEED RANGE OF A SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR USING A FAST DEMAGNETIZING TECHNIQUE

Abstract Details

2016, Master of Science in Engineering, University of Akron, Electrical Engineering.
The objective of this thesis is to improve the high speed range of a switched reluctance motor (SRM). An auto-transformer-like winding is proposed to achieve fast demagnetization of phase windings for better high speed performance. The re-configured winding requires the development of a new power converter to drive the motor. The developed converter applies the DC bus voltage across a portion of the phase winding during the demagnetization time interval. Accordingly, a higher negative demagnetization voltage is applied, leading to a faster discharge rate of the phase excitation currents. Theoretical analysis of the proposed motor is presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed demagnetizing technique. The proposed concept is verified through simulation using Finite Element Analysis and experimental tests on a rewound motor. A detailed comparison between the simulation and experimental results of the original and the rewound motors is given to highlight the advantages and the disadvantages of the proposed concept.
