Performance Analysis of Switched Reluctance Motor for 24/7 Working Environment

Switched Reluctance Motor is a stepper motor that runs by reluctance torque. Power is delivered to winding of stator. It is used in bi-directional control, self-starting and high speed applications. It has simple structure, inexpensive manufacturing, high reliability and high efficiency. It does not require maintenance because it is a brushless motor. The windings are present only on stator. Therefore, it is easy to cool down. To meet desired speed, torque ripples are required to be reduced because torque and speed are inversely proportional to each other. Proportional Integrator and Fuzzy logic are implemented in this research to improve performance of switched reluctance motor. MATLAB/ Simulink are used to carry out simulation analysis of switched reluctance motor using proportional integrator and Fuzzy logic controllers.
