DSP SOLUTIONS FOR THE SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR

This document deals with solutions to control a switched reluctance motor using the TMS320C24x. This new DSP family enables cost-effective design of intelligent controllers for switched reluctance motors. Two speed control algorithms are presented, they allow the Switched Reluctance motor drive to reach high efficiency, smooth operation, very good dynamic behavior, very high speed and low acoustical noise. This article also presents some mechanical position sensorless algorithms in order to reduce the overall system cost and to enhance the drive reliability. All these solutions use only TMS320C24x resources, thus providing a single chip cost efficient control structure.
