Summary:In this paper, the modeling and simulation of a switched
reluctance machine is described. Modeling and simulation is an already
accepted method in the design of drive systems. The entire drive,
including power converter, SRM, mechanical load and control are modeled
in one multilevel model. The paper explains why use is made of a
multilevel package for modeling and simulation of a complete drive
system. The application of mechatronic systems requires more modeling
effort compared to modeling of regular electronic systems. This is
caused by the difference in models for the electrical machine, the power
converter and the control of the drive. A multilevel model is applied
which combines the circuit model, a block diagram and programming
language, and thereby eases the modeling process. Due to the required
small fine step in the simulation of the power converter, the total
simulation time is large. Therefore, a simulation program must used,
which has special ideal models for the semiconductor switches and thus
reduces total simulation time. Results from the simulation show the
internal waveforms of the converter, such as the rotor angle dependent
inductance of the stator, angular frequency of the rotor and the torque
produced by the SRM
