Abstract

A MATLAB environment based mathematical model of a 4- phase Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) with fewer experimental flux linkage and static torque data, with possible measurements using instruments within accuracy and precision, and more extended data with interpolation respectively is presented. The main objective of this research is to investigate the performance of SRM with variable available data used as lookup data in the model of SRM. Firstly, the necessary experimental input data is discussed. Then, these data points are extended for a range of current and rotor positions. Finally, simulations are carried out under these data for the same operating conditions. The accuracy of the results is verified by comparing the simulated current and torque profile of the machine with an experimental current profile.
