Abstract

This paper addresses the efficient improvement of the Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) by the proper voltage excitation. In the case of loads with large operational motor-speed differences such as washing machine, an SRM system driven by a constant DC-link voltage is not useful for improving the efficiency. To reduce the effect of the excess DC-link voltage, AC-DC control converter that uses a silicon controlled rectifier instead of diode rectifier is employed in the SRM driver system. AC-DC control converter supplies a proper link voltage for low-speed operation. The experimental results demonstrated that the efficiency of the system was improved at low speeds.

본 논문은 적정 전압 여자를 적용한 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기의 효율 개선에 대하여 기술한다. 세탁기와 같이 적용 속도에 큰 차이가 있는 부하의 경우 일정한 직류링크전압으로는 효율 개선에 어려움이 있다. 저속운전영역에서 과도한 직류전압의 영향을 줄이기 위해 보통 사용되고 있는 구동회로내의 다이오드 정류기 대신 SCR을 사용한 AC-DC 컨버터가 SRM 드라이버에 포함된다. AC-DC 컨버터는 저속에 알맞은 적정한 여자전압을 공급한다. 실험결과를 통하여 저속영역에서 효율이 개선됨을 확인하였다.
