Reluctance motor

Reluctance motor

A reluctance motor is a type of motor that utilizes a ferromagnetic rotor to induce non-permanent magnetic poles. The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a specific type of reluctance motor that is known for its simple structure, low cost, high efficiency, high speed, and ease of maintenance, making it widely used in various industries.From: Electrical Machine Drives [2019], A Second-Order Sliding Mode Control of Switched Reluctance Motor [2020]

In essence, reluctance motor is a synchronous motor. The difference is that a reluctance motor does not have a field winding on the rotor. Figure 4.3 shows an elementary, single-phase, two-pole reluctance motor. We assume that all the reluctance of the magnetic circuit is in the air gap. In other words, the permeability of the core material is considered to be infinity.

The reluctance motor is a type of motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles in a ferromagnetic rotor. The rotor of this motor has no windings and the torque is generated through magnetic reluctance.

The switched reluctance motor (SRM) has a wide range of applications in industries, mainly due to its simple structure, low cost, high efficiency, high speed, easy to maintain, etc. However, the SRM has highly non-linear and dynamical behavior that makes it difficult to control. Several works have been treated the control of SRMs [1–5]. The following references can be listed, using (i) PI (proportional integral) controllers [6], (ii) adaptive controllers [7, 8], (iii) fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy controllers [7, 9], (iv) first-order sliding mode controllers [10–14], and (v) second-order sliding mode controllers [15–17].
