Experimentally verified flux density models for the switched-reluctance machine

This paper introduces a general mathematical model for the flux density waveform in each segment of the switched-reluctance machine (SRM). The model explicitly considers operational features such as conduction angle control. Integration with an electromechanical simulation would support flux density models under current-regulated operation. The paper compares the model-generated waveform to experimental waveforms. The flux density model sets the stage for accurately modeling core losses within the SRM.
