A Novel Model Predictive Direct Torque Control Method for Improving Steady-State Performance of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor

Predictive torque and flux control for the synchronous reluctance machine

This paper presents a predictive torque and flux control algorithm for the synchronous reluctance machine. The algorithm performs a voltage space phasor pre-selection, followed by the computation of the switching instants for the optimum switching space phasors, with the advantages of inherently constant switching frequency and time equidistant implementation on a DSP based system. The criteria...

Maximum Torque Control of a Sensorless Synchronous Reluctance Motor Drive

The algorithmic structure of a vector controller capable of high quality speed control of a synchronous reluctance motor with and without the use of a rotor position sensor is presented in this paper. The controller is based on a conventional saturated machine d-q model. Its main merit is that it can be operated in a sensorless control mode by executing a new, very accurate parameter dependent ...

Influence of Operation Conditions Upon the Dynamic Steady State Performance of Switched Reluctance Motor

In order to obtain more accurate predicted dynamic steady-state performance with shorter computation time, an available mathematical model is modified and presented. Using this modified model, performance of a typical switched reluctance motor (SRM) under a wide range of variations of operating conditions is obtained and discussed. These include variations of speed, voltage, load and switching ...

Controller Design for Synchronous Reluctance Motor Drive Systems with Direct Torque Control

The synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) has many advantages over other ac motors. For example, its structure is simple and rugged. In addition, its rotor does not have any winding or magnetic material. Prior to twenty years ago, the SynRM was regarded as inferior to other types of ac motors due to its lower average torque and larger torque pulsation. Recently, many researchers have proposed se...
