Applications in Control and Energy Efficiency with Switched Reluctance Motors
摘要
This chapter explores practical applications of speed control and energy efficiency in switched reluctance motors (SRMs). Three distinct methodologies are investigated: speed control with fixed switching angles, fixed excitation voltage, and dynamic switching angles. The control is implemented using hybrid algorithm-optimized PID controllers (GA-QNM) to minimize speed error, maximize energy efficiency, and reduce power consumption. The dynamic angle methodology stands out, showing significant improvements in energy efficiency, reaching \(76.9\%\) under load conditions. The experimental results validate the simulated models, demonstrating a minimal deviation between the simulated and real-world data. Case studies illustrate that dynamic approaches outperform conventional methods, ensuring greater stability across a wide operational range, even under highly nonlinear conditions. The findings emphasize the feasibility of applying the proposed methodologies to experimental setups for practical validation and comparative analysis.
