Single-phase H-bridge Rectifier fed High-speed SRM System based on Integrated Power Control

Traditionally, an uncontrollable diode bridge rectifier (DBR) is employed to supply the constant DC voltage for the asymmetric half-bridge (ASHB) converter fed switched reluctance motors (SRMs), which brings about inferior AC side power quality. In this paper, a high-speed SRM drive system based on integrated power control scheme is proposed, which not only realizes the regulation of SRM but improves the AC side power quality. For the topology, a single-phase H-bridge rectifier and ASHB converter are connected in a cascade arrangement to form an AC-DC-DC converter to drive the SRM. For the control, the proposed integrated power control scheme governs the rectifier and SRM as one control unit in which stable motor speed and high AC side power factor are realized via regulating the input real and reactive power, respectively. Moreover, the proposed system has bi-directional power flow capability, which means the power can flow out of and into the AC side. Experiments are carried out to investigate the steady-state and dynamic performances of the proposed driving system. The experimental data and performance comparison confirm its effectiveness.     «
