Dynamic Model and Simulation for a 6/4 Switched Reluctance Machine System Assisted by Maxwell SPICE and Simplorer

Abstract

This paper presents a method for modeling and simulation of switched reluctance machine (SRM) system assisted by Maxwell SPICE tool and Simplorer environment. The nonlinear magnetization characteristics of flux linkage and torque for the machine have been considered and calculated by finite element analysis (FEA). From 2D FEA results, a dynamic equivalent circuit of SRM ECE model is constructed into Simplorer using Maxwell SPICE rules. The strategies of variation parameters speed PI control and the current chopped control (CCC) are used when SRM operates in the state of motoring due to SRM small signal model, whereas the variation parameters voltage PI control and angel position control (APC) are used in the state of generating. The simulation and experimental results for a 6/4 SRM system are presented and compared to demonstrate the validity of the modeling method.
