Development of Switched Reluctance Motor Control Algorithm Based on Finite Element Calculations

An energy-efficient switched reluctance electric drive on electric rolling stock is considered. It fully meets such requirements as good adjustment properties, high energy efficiency and operational reliability. The scientific and technical value of the results of the work lies in the development of an algorithm for controlling a traction switched reluctance motor that reduces the operating current while providing the necessary power. The calculations were made by means of specialized programs interacting with each other FEMM and MATLAB. The materials of this study are of practical value for improving the operational and technical and economic indicators of electric rolling stock.
