Abstract: “This work reports on the steady-state analysis and control strategies of switched reluctance motors (SRMs). For this purpose, a theoretical background is introduced and a mathematical model is derived. A Matlab code has been written to determine the motor magnetic characteristics. The inductance profile has also been determined and from which the induced voltage constant, which is used to find the electromagnetic torque, is obtained. A low-performance voltage control strategy is applied to the motor. Simulation results are given to evaluate the overall system performance.”
