Improvement of efficiency in electrical machines for water lifting applications in agricultural sector results in large energy savings, which is very much important in the present scenario of energy crisis. Single and three phase induction motors are most commonly used in such applications. However, these machines consume more energy due to their low efficiencies. A comprehensive performance evaluation including the machine design, selection of converter topologies, method of control, practical implementation of drive system, and vibration analysis for an agriculture applications is not done so far. This paper discuses to design Switched Reluctance Motor suitable for use in agricultural applications. Select suitable drive systems for this motor, giving considerations to lower switching losses and easiness of control. To investigate suitable control strategies for the speed control of the motor. Experimental validation of the performances of the motor, along with the vibration analysis. A real time experiment is also conducted to demonstrate the suitability of Switched Reluctance Motor drive for water lifting application and finally, per year unit consumption of Single Phase Induction Motor and Switched Reluctance Motor are compared to prove the economic superiority of Switched Reluctance Motor.

“…One fundamental aspect of the application of an SRM is the electronic power converter that must be used to operate the motor; several topologies can be adopted. The classic solution is the asymmetrical half-bridge topology [13][14][15]. However, many other two-level topologies have been presented and proposed.…”

PV Generator-Fed Water Pumping System Based on a SRM with a Multilevel Fault-Tolerant Converter

et al. 2022

This paper presents a pumping system supplied by a PV generator that is based on a switched reluctance machine (SRM). Water pumping systems are fundamental in many applications. Most of them can be used only during the day; therefore, they are highly recommended for use with PV generators. For the interface between the PV panels and the motor, a new multilevel converter is proposed. This converter is designed in order to ensure fault-tolerant capability for open switch faults. The converter is based on two three-level inverters, with some extra switches. Moreover, to reduce the number of switches, the converter is designed to provide inverse currents in the motor windings. Due to the characteristics of this motor, the inverse currents do not change the torque direction. In this way, it was possible to obtain an SRM drive with fault-tolerant capability for transistor faults; it is also a low-cost solution, due to the reduced number of switches and drives. These characteristics of fault-tolerant capability and low cost are important in applications such as water pumping systems supplied by PV generators. The proposed system was verified by several tests that were carried out by a simulation program. The experimental results, obtained from a laboratory prototype, are also presented, with the purpose of validating the simulation tests.

This paper presents a technical overview for Switched Reluctance Generators (SRG) in Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) applications. Several topics are discussed, such as the main structures and topologies for SRG converters in WECS, and the optimization control methods to improve the operational efficiency of SRGs in wind power generation systems. A comprehensive overview including the main characteristics of each SRG converter topology and control techniques were discussed. The analysis presented can also serve as a foundation for more advanced versions of SRG control techniques, providing a necessary basis to spur more and, above all, motivate the younger researchers to study magnetless electric machines, and pave the way for higher growth of wind generators based on SRGs.
