Multiport Driving Topology for a Photovoltaic Aircraft Light Transmission System Driven by Switched Reluctance Motors
March 28, 2023
Abstract
In order to meet the working requirements of high performance and low cost for a photovoltaic (PV) aircraft driven by switched reluctance motors (SRMs), a multiport driving topology (MDT) is proposed. The converter is composed of an asymmetric half-bridge and a multiport power source circuit. Three driving and two charging modes can be realized through simple control of the switches. The output torque and the efficiency of the system are improved, because the excitation and demagnetization processes are accelerated by increasing the commutation voltage. The battery pack can be self-charged when the system is running, and PV panels can be used to charge the battery pack to reduce energy consumption when the system is stationary. The simulation analysis and the experimental verification on an 8/6 SRM confirm the effectiveness of the MFT proposed in this paper.
