Abstract

In order to improve the performance of switched reluctance motor (SRM) systems for photovoltaic (PV) pumps, this paper introduces a new converter topology for SRM with controllable multiple power sources. Only simple switching components need to be added at the front end of the asymmetric half-bridge converter in this topology, which enables the control of multiple power sources. The new PV pump system has four operating modes, which are the PV panel driven mode, battery bank driven mode, dual-source driven mode, and battery charging mode. By adjusting the state of the front-end converter switch, the voltage tracking of PV panel can be achieved, providing a stable bus voltage for the SRM system. By controlling the battery bypass switch, the bus voltage of SRM system can be increased, thereby increasing the system power level. Simulations and experiments based on a four-phase 8/6 SRM demonstrate the effect of the novel converter proposed in this paper.
