This paper presents a new converter for switched reluctance motor for controlling the speed using soft computing technique like Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC). The operating modes of proposed converter circuit are discussed. The proposed converter is capable of minimizing the torque ripple because of its faster excitation and demagnetization nature and also improving the average torque when compared to the conventional converter circuit. Fuzzy Logic Controller has becoming an important methodology in control engineering. The FLC has fast response, easily modified, cheaper to implement and does not require any mathematical modeling, perfect speed tracking with no peak overshoot compared to the conventional controller. The objective of this paper is to achieve a desired speed response with effective controller. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified by using simulation. The simulation results are carried out by using MATLAB/SIMULINK and the corresponding results are presented.
