AN ADAPTIVE CONTROLLER FOR A GENERAL-CLASS OF SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR MODELS

In this paper, we utilize a general, nonlinear model of the switched r eluctance (SR) motor to develop an adaptive controller for the full-or der electromechanical model. The proposed controller requires measurem ent of the rotor position, rotor velocity, and stator current, does no t exhibit any control singularities, achieves global asymptotic positi on/velocity tracking and compensates for uncertain electromechanical p arameters which are independent of the flux linkage model. To illustra te the generality of the approach, we show how the control can be desi gned to account for magnetic saturation associated with a proposed flu x linkage model. Experimental results are also provided. (C) 1997 Else vier Science Ltd.
