- Abstract
A system‐level behavioural modelling technique is described for a switched reluctance motor drive. The model enables simple and efficient analysis or simulation of multiple drive systems such as pumps, actuators and engine starters within a more‐electric network, for example, on‐board an aircraft. The behavioural model is based on a power balance analysis. The transfer functions in the model are parameterised from experimental tests on the drive system, resulting in a simple model that only reproduces the average behaviour of the input–output variables necessary for system‐level analysis. No data from the manufacturer is required to develop the model. The technique is discussed and validated using an engine starter in an aircraft test facility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
