A Fourier Series Generalized Geometry-Based Analytical Model of Switched Reluctance Machines

Abstract

A novel invertible generalized flux/current switched reluctance machine (SRM) model based on the Fourier series expansion is presented. This model, which is derived from machine geometry and materials properties, is accurate enough to be used for actual machine representation and can also be simplified for real-time controller applications. Simulation and experimental results illustrate that the proposed modeling approach provides better representation of the SRM than other existing techniques
