Speed Control for SRM Drive System Based on Switching Variable Proportional Desaturation PI Regulator

This paper develops a novel switching variable proportional desaturation proportional integral (SVPDPI) regulator for speed control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive system. Firstly, the idea of desaturation is adopted in the SRM drive system in order to eliminate the integral saturation phenomenon of traditional proportional integral (PI) regulator. Secondly, the variable proportional desaturation PI (VPDPI) regulator is proposed to enhance the response speed of SRM drive system by introducing the concept of variable proportion. In addition, in order to improve the smoothness of the SRM start-up speed, a switching speed regulator is further designed based on the VPDPI regulator. Finally, the principle of error threshold segmentation is introduced into SVPDPI regulator, whose control performance is compared with among other three regulators under rated speed, various speeds and load-torque conditions. Meanwhile, the dynamic performance, steady performance and start-up performance are comprehensively analyzed. The simulation experiment results commendably indicate that the proposed SVPDPI regulator is superior in tracking performance, anti-disturbance performance and speed range.
