Abstract

This paper presents a simplified speed controller (SSC) for high speed Switched Reluctance Motors
(SRM). The controller is designed to overcome difficulties estimating control variables and motor
operation over a wide range of speeds. The controller combines the advantages of the simplicity of
conventional controllers and the intelligent properties of the fuzzy logic controller. The controller use
only two control variables which are calculated via the perturbation of the mechanical equation and
pre-defined SRM speed performance. The controller is designed and implemented by computer
simulation. The performance of the motor with the controller is assessed using dynamic loads and
various types of disturbances. The results illustrate that the controller represent an ultimate solution for
the operation of high speed switched reluctance motors.
