Abstract

This paper presents the review of design variables optimization and control strategies of a Linear Switched Reluctance Actuator (LSRA).  The introduction of various type of linear electromagnetic actuators (LEA) are compared and the advantages of LSRA over other LEA are discussed together with the type of actuator configurations and topologies. The SRA provides an overall efficiency similar to induction actuator of the similar rating, subsequently the friction and windage losses are comparable but force density is better. LSRA has the advantage of low cost, simple construction and high reliability compare to the actuator with permanent magnet. However, LSRA also has some obvious defects which will influence the performance of the actuator such as ripples and acoustic noise which are caused by the highly nonlinear characteristics of the actuator. By researching the design variables of the actuator, the influences of those design variables are introduced and the detail comparisons are analyzed in this paper.  In addition, this paper also reviews on the control strategies in order to overcome the weaknesses of LSRA.

Abstract

Over the last decade, industrial applications and promising research domains including robotics and automotive engineering have adopted the rotary switched reluctance actuator (SRA). SRA's fault tolerance, simple, strong structure, and high-frequency operation make it popular. However, the SRA's nonlinear magnetic flux flow and saturation operation negate its benefits. Several control systems have been developed; however, they often need extensive mechanism models and advanced control theory, making them impracticable. This paper proposes a modified proportional integral derivative (PID) controller to evaluate the control performance, which comprises of PID controller with an anti-windup, a linearizer unit, and switching mechanism to activate the SRA phases. The linearizer unit aids to compensate for the nonlinear current-displacement relationship. The anti-windup element helps to halt the integral action during the starting motion. At the fully aligned position, 60°, the modified PID reduced positioning steady-state error by 4.3 times at 76.9%, overshoot by 48.8%, and settling time by 25.3%. Both the modified PID and conventional PID showed zero steady-state error at intermediate position, 70°, however the modified PID controller depicted an improved percentage overshoot by 54.5% and settling time by 74.5%. The results show that the modified PID outperforms conventional PID in transient response, steady-state error, overshoot, and settling time.
