Abstract

The  important drawbacks of the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) are torque ripples, acoustic noise, and low power factor. High harmonic current and low power factor arising from the pulsating AC input current and the switching of voltage into the SRM phase winding. It will also lead to high torque ripple and acoustic noise. In the present work, we are using Vienna-type rectifier along with alternate Asymmetric H-Bridge converter for the SRM drive. It provides boosted DC-link voltage and enhancing the quality of the input current. Thus, the power factor (PF) of the SRM drive gets enhanced. This converter configuration also provides lesser Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Thus, it will address the power quality improvement of the SRM drive. It is even more useful in torque ripple minimization. In this paper, for our analysis, we are considering 8/6 SRM Drive. It is modeled by using the MATLAB/Simulink environment.
