Analysis and Comparison of Power Electronic Converters for Conventional and Toroidal Switched Reluctance Machines

摘要

Different power electronic converter topologies are introduced in this paper for both Conventional Switched Reluctance Machine (CSRM) and Toroidal Switched Reluctance Machine (TSRM). Their commutation, switch and diode RMS currents, power losses, and efficiencies are analysed and compared for characteristics study, performance evaluation and topology selection of different Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) Drive systems. Conclusions have been drawn for the switch and diode silicon volume required for the CSRM and TSRM topologies according to their corresponding RMS current and equivalent drive system torque output.
