Dual Sliding Mode with PI Controller Based Switched Reluctance Motor Drive

Abstract

In this paper, a Dual Sliding Mode with Proportional Integral (DSM-PI) controlled Switched Reluctance Motor drive circuit is proposed with closed loop speed control. An asymmetric half bridge converter is used to drive SRM which is fed by a front-end circuit. The dual sliding mode PI controller is utilized for better time response. With variable proportional and integral gains in DSM-PI controller the error generation value is altered with faster values making the speed of the motor to settle faster with reduced ripple and disturbances. The topology is modelled in MATLAB/Simulink environment and the simulation results on a three-phase 6/4 SRM are presented.
