【 摘 要 】

The linear counterpart of the rotational switched reluctance drive is receiving increasing attention from academicand industrial societies. The special characteristics of this driving technology, that normally works in a highlymagnetic saturation regimen, make the development of efficient design methodologies more difficult. This paperproposes a new numerical model of a Linear Switched Reluctance Actuator based on the flux tube method. Forvalidation purposes, simulation results obtained from the application of presented model are compared withthe ones obtained from the application of a commercial finite element tool. The modulation technique proposedhere makes possible, with minimal computational effort, the evaluation of the impact in actuator behaviourcaused by the changes on the magnetic circuit geometries.
