Abstract

The present invention employs digital circuitry to compensate for variations in DC link voltage transmitted to a switched reluctance machine. The digital voltage compensation system of the present invention periodically samples the DC link voltage and actual rotor speed, then supplies the samples in digital form to a microcontroller that derives a compensated speed signal to compensate for changes in DC link voltage.
