Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to simulate and implement a sensorless control system for a switched reluctance motor (SRM). There are two sensorless control methods considered in this study. One is the flux estimation method; the other is the phase current peak detection. To make sure the sensorless control methods are feasible, several issues should be addressed. To begin with, the model of SRM should be built in Simulink. Then, we simulate the sensorless control algorithms in Simulink. The parameters of SRM are measured in experiments. Finally, the sensorless control algorithms are applied to the SRM system. Simulations and implementation verify the feasibility of sensorless control strategy.
