Switched reluctance motor/generator simulation research based on compressed air energy storage system

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) system has become a popular energy storage device for micro grid because of many advantages. The principle, structure, simulation model and the simulation results of the switched reluctance motor/generator system based on the CAES system has been studied in the paper. The nonlinear simulation model by the flux linkage data calculated by two-dimensional finite element is built firstly. Then the sliding+PI control method is put forward in the motor process and the fuzzy+PI control method is put forward in the generation process. The simulation results have validated the effectiveness of the control strategy and control parameters. The switched reluctance motor/generator system has well rotor speed tracking and voltage output performance and it has reference value and application prospect in the CAES system.
