摘要

A fixed-switching-frequency model-based sliding mode current controller with an integral switching surface for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives is presented in this paper. Based on the equivalent circuit model of SRM, including the magnetic saturation and mutual coupling, an integral sliding mode current controller is designed. The stability of sliding mode controller is analyzed in two scenarios: 1) one with known motor parameters and 2) the other with bounded modeling error. In order to analyze the robustness of the sliding mode controller, the motor controller parameter constraints are derived and the stability analysis is demonstrated by considering motor parameter modeling errors. The sliding mode controller is validated by both simulation and experimental results with a 2.3-kW, 6000-r/min, three-phase 12/8 SRM over the wide speed range in both linear and magnetic saturation regions. Compared to the hysteresis current controller, the sliding mode controller demonstrates comparable transient response and steady-state response in terms of torque ripples, current ripples, root-mean-square error of current and torque. Moreover, the sliding mode controller has some advantages over the hysteresis controller, including constant switching frequency and much lower sampling rate.
