Simulation of the switched reluctance machine under single pulse mode operation

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:Two distinct simulation methods have been developed to simulate the single and themulti-phase excited current waveforms of the switched reluctance machine (SRM)under single pulse mode operation. These simulation methods are explained andevaluated in this thesis. A non-commercial finite element package that takes theSRM's nonlinear magnetic property into account is used in this regard. Thesimulation program uses the finite element solution directly during the simulation.Both simulation methods have been investigated in terms of result and totalsimulation time. In this investigation it is shown how feasible the simulation methodswill be with the next generation of fast computers. The factors affecting the simulatedcurrent waveforms of the SRM under single pulse mode operation are investigated indetail in this thesis. With these factors taken into account, the measured and simulatedmulti-phase current waveforms are compared with each other and discussed.
