Position Control of Double Sided Linear Switched Reluctance Motor Based on PSO

Abstract

The movement of the double-sided linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) has high overshoots and oscillations because the magnetic circuit of the LSRM has nonlinear characteristics. The traditional PID controller is insufficient in LSRM due to the nonlinear magnetic circuit of the LSRM. Therefore, the closed-loop PID controller based on a particle swarm algorithm (PSO) is designed and implemented using Matlab/Simulink to achieve the best characteristics of the LSRM.
