Simulation of a switched reluctance motors using Matlab/M-file

This paper presents a new analytical representation and simulation of the phase inductance of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) using Matlab/M-file. This simulation method has many advantages: it is free from expression, can be applied widely, demonstrates inductance profile using a motor parameter only, and saves run time. Moreover, this simulation method can easily realize various SRM models unlike the existing method that limited itself to one model. Analytical expressions for inductance are welcome as they allow for easier analysis of the motor, for they can bring insights into the working, formulating control strategies and achieving high accuracy in performance computations.
