Circuit-oriented model of the switched reluctance motor for drive systems simulation

Switched reluctance motors, unlike other types of motors, for their operation require a control system and the supply from a converter. For simulation purposes of the complete switched reluctance drive system it is desirable to have a circuit-oriented model of the switched reluctance motor. A circuit-oriented model is especially useful when simulations are to be made for different algorithms and control parameters. A method of modeling, the developed circuit-oriented model of the switched reluctance motor, and simulation results of the complete switched reluctance drive system are presented in the paper.
