Control Rotor Speed of Switched Reluctance Machine

This example shows how to control the rotor speed in a switched reluctance machine (SRM) based electrical drive. A DC voltage source feeds the SRM through a controlled three-arm bridge. To achieve both forward and backward rotation, this example adjusts the converter turn-on and turn-off angles using the speed error.
