This paper presents the modeling and analysis of H-bridge Inverter-fed Switched Reluctance
Motor. This project proposes the performance characteristics of 5-Level H-bridge inverters. The
H-bridge inverter is triggered by multi-carrier sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique. The
performance of the inverter is studied for different modulation indices. The open loop response
of the switched reluctance motor is observed for varying torque conditions.

MODELLING OF SWITCHED
RELUCTANCE MOTOR
A mathematical model for the switched
Reluctance motor used for the design of the
speed contour. The mode1 is represented by
a set of differential equations which are

obtained using standard electric circuit and Figure 8: Simulink Diagram of 5-Level
machine theory. In order to include all relevant H-bridge Fed Switched Reluctance Motor
dynamics, the plant is modeled as a
combination of two subsystems: an electric
subsystem derived from Kirchhoff s laws,
which describe the dynamic behavior of the
stator. and a mechanical subsystem derived
from Newton's law, which accounts for the
mechanical load and the rotor dynamics. The
two subsystems are coupled together by
energy conversion consideration. Voltage
relations for a switched reluctance motor are
the same as for any other electrical machine.

to flux Linkage variations. Therefore the
voltage equation for the k phase of an SRM

SIMULATION RESULTS
The H-bridge inverter-fed SRM drive is
simulated with the above said switching
scheme and the results are observed. The
switching frequency of the VSI is chosen as
10 kHz and the fundamental frequency is set
to 50 Hz. Figure 8 shows the Simulink model
of 5-level H-bridge inverter-fed SRM. The
Figures 9 and 10 shows the simulation results
for 5-level H-bridge voltage source inverter.
