Abstract
This paper presents a position sensorless closed loop control of a switched reluctance linear motor. The aim of the proposed control is to damp the position of the studied motor. Indeed, the position oscillations can harm some applications requiring high position precision. Moreover, they can induce the linear switched reluctance motor to an erratic working. The proposed control solution is based on back Electromotive Forces which give information about the oscillatory behaviour of the studied motor and avoid the use of a cumbersome and expensive position linear sensor. The determination of the designed control law parameters was based on the singular perturbation theory. The efficiency of the proposed control solution was proven by simulations and experimental tests.
