Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a modeling method for switched reluctance motor model, in particular to a modeling method for switched reluctance motor applicable to switched reluctance motors of various phase numbers.

BACKGROUND ART

Switched reluctance motors are superior to conventional motor drive systems in terms of manufacturing cost, control flexibility, and fault tolerance capability, etc., owing to their unique double salient-poles structure and operation mode of independent excitation of each phases. However, the model of switched reluctance motor has high non-linearity and the mathematical expression is very complex, owing to the double salient-poles structure and magnetic saturation characteristic. At present, modeling methods for switched reluctance motors mainly include: calculating static magnetic flux linkage data of a motor through finite element computation of the motor magnetic field, and setting up a model in circuit emulation software through table look-up; the method involves a long computation time, occupies storage space heavily, and is difficult to be used for real-time simulation and real-time control; constructing a magnetic network, utilizing static magnetic flux linkage data of a motor obtained through magnetic circuit computation, and establishing a model in circuit emulation software through table look-up; with that method, on one hand, if a simple magnetic network is constructed, the established model of switched reluctance motor will be inaccurate; on the other hand, if a complex magnetic network is constructed, the universality of the established model of switched reluctance motor will be poor, and the magnetic circuit parameters have to be determined by experience, though the model of switched reluctance motor may be more accurate.
