“…Among the hard-switching converters, the Bridge converters are the most common ones and four topologies are usually considered: the asymmetrical half-bridge, the shared phase winding, the shared switch and the full-bridge (H-bridge). A more recent topology [33,34] that uses a conventional three-phase bridge converter (inverter) can also be considered as a Bridge converter. In turn, the Capacitive topologies usually include the C-Dump, the Sood, the Split DC and the Buck-Boost.…”

“…In the conventional three-phase bridge topology, represented in Figure 6, a conventional three-phase inverter is used, connected to the windings that are connected in series, allowing a permanent circulating current [33,34]. The main advantage of this topology is the possibility of using a standard three-phase inverter, with no need of changing the internal structure of the machine or the excitation method.…”

The use of power electronic converters is essential for the operation of Switched Reluctance Machines (SRMs). Many topologies and structures have been developed over the last years considering several specific applications for this kind of machine, improving the control strategies, performance range, fault-tolerant operation, among other aspects. Thus, due to the great importance of power electronic converters in such applications, this paper is focused on a detailed review of main structures and topologies for SRM drives. The proposed study is not limited to the classic two-level power converters topologies dedicated to the SRMs; it also presents a review about recent approaches, such as multilevel topologies and based on impedance source network. Moreover, this review is also focused on a new class of topologies associated to these machines, namely the ones with fault-tolerant capability. This new category of topologies has been a topic of research in recent years, being currently considered an area of great interest for future research work. An analysis, taking into consideration the main features of each structure and topology, was addressed in this review. A classification and comparison of the several structures and topologies for each kind of converter, considering modularity, boost capability, number of necessary switches and phases, integration in the machine design, control complexity, available voltage levels and fault-tolerant capability to different failure modes, is also presented. In this way, this review also includes a description of the presented solutions taking into consideration the reliability of the SRM drive.

This paper proposes a new driving method for a switched reluctance motor (SRM) by using a standard full bridge. The windings in the SRM are connected in series to build a ring structure, where a controllable DC source is inserted. Based on the new structure, the theoretical analysis and calculation are made to determine the control parameters. Besides three-phase SRM, the new idea can also be applied to the SRMs with four and five phases. The new driving method is compared with the conventional method by simulation. The results show that with the new method, the ripple of torque and speed in the SRM reduces. The influence of the proposed method on the power rating and losses is then analyzed. The validation is also made to verify the application of the new method and the difference between the conventional driving method and the proposed method. The measured results match the simulated results well.

“…For SRM drives, several power electronic converters have been proposed [23]. Many of the applications are based on two-level converters [24][25][26][27][28]. Through the use of these, topologies two voltage levels will be generated, allowing for the magnetization or demagnetization of the machine windings.…”

Fault-Tolerant Multilevel Converter to Feed a Switched Reluctance Machine

et al. 2022

The switched reluctance machine (SRM) is one of the most interesting machines, being adopted for many applications. However, this machine requires a power electronic converter that usually is the most fragile element of the system. Thus, in order to ensure high reliability for this system, it is fundamental to design a power electronic converter with fault-tolerant capability. In this context, a new solution is proposed to give this capability to the system. This converter was designed with the purpose to ensure fault-tolerant capability to two types of switch faults, namely open- and short-circuit. Moreover, apart from this feature, the proposed topology is characterized by a multilevel operation that allows improvement of the performance of the SRM, taking into consideration a wide speed range. Although the proposed solution is presented for an 8/6 SRM, it can be used for other configurations. The operation of the proposed topology will be described for the two modes, fault-tolerant and normal operation. Another aspect that is addressed in this paper is the proposal of fault detection and diagnosis method for this fault-tolerant inverter. It was specifically developed for a multilevel SRM drive. The theoretical assumptions will be verified through two different types of tests, firstly by simulation and secondly by experiments with a laboratory prototype.
