A switched reluctance drive, operating either as a motor or a generator, is controlled in a stable manner in the continuous current mode in the presence of supply voltage or electrical load variation. The use of a current control parameter Ix in addition to the conventional on- and off-angles θon, θoff gives the ability to operate smoothly in the continuous current mode and to transition smoothly between operating modes. Once the phase current reaches a pre-determined level Ix, the phase winding may be placed in a freewheel state, thereby controlling the standing current in the phase winding and / or the output voltage.

A current loop reconfiguration method for controlling a four-phase switched reluctance motor belongs to the technical field of switched reluctance motor control. The switched reluctance drive system is a speed and current double closed-loop control system. The outer loop is the speed loop control; the inner loop is the current loop control. Usually, the four-phase switched reluctance motor needs four independent current sampling loops, which will increase the control circuit. cost and volume. For this reason, in some applications that have strict requirements on volume and cost, four phases share one sampling loop to detect current. When the four phases share a current sampling loop, in order to allow the four-phase switched reluctance motor to accurately feed back the current of each phase, the shape function of the current waveform is constructed, and the current distribution function of each phase is obtained through the current shape function of each phase. The collected current is then multiplied by the distribution function for each phase. In this way, a four-phase feedback current is reconstructed from a feedback current loop. Get the actual and accurate current of each phase of the motor. To achieve the purpose of precise and stable operation of the motor.

The fault tolerance operation method comprises the following steps: selecting a target position, measuring flux-current characteristic data, acquiring phase current voltage, calculating dynamic flux and a different value of dynamic fluxes at any two moments, calculating fault flux, judging whether the difference value of the dynamic fluxes is identical to a fault flux value or not, if the difference value of the dynamic fluxes is identical to the fault flux value, confirming that a sensor has faults, and transmitting an instruction for delaying fault phase control according to electromagnetic signals of a normal phase winding, if the difference value of the dynamic fluxes is not identical to the fault flux value, confirming that the sensor has not fault, and transmitting an instruction for delaying on / off control on the phase winding according to the electromagnetic signals of the phase winding. By adopting the fault tolerance operation method, a switched reluctance motor without a position sensor can still correctly estimate the position of a rotor under the situation that certain current sensors or voltage sensors have faults, and the operation stability of a switched reluctance motor system is improved.
