Abstract

This paper presents simulation results for three phase, 6/4 poles switched reluctance
motor (SRM) by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) method for formative the
optimal proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller tuning parameters.The
proposed approach has superior feature, including easy implementation, stable
convergence characteristics and very good computational performances efficiency.
The main focus of this paper is to investigate the dynamic performance of switched
reluctance (SR) motors. This investigation is achieved through simulation using
MATLAB/SIMULINK. Digital simulation results show that the designed (PSO) have
a good dynamic behaviour of the motor, a perfect speed tracking with no overshoot
and a good rejection of impact loads disturbance. The results of applying the (PSO)
mode controller to a SRM give best performances and high robustness than those
obtained by the application of others controller. The obtained results of the closed loop
PSO-PID response shows excellent performance with respect to the PID controller.
