Torque Ripple Minimization Scheme Using Torque Sharing Function Based Fuzzy Logic Control for a Switched Reluctance Motor

This paper presents an advanced torque ripple minimization method of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) using torque sharing function (TSF). Generally, TSF is applied into the torque control. However, the conventional TSF cannot follow the expected torque well because of the nonlinear characteristics of the SRM. Moreover, the tail current that is generated at a high speed motor drive makes unexp...

Design Optimization of Switched Reluctance Machines for Maximum Torque/Current Using BEM-Based Sensitivity Analysis

One challenge to predict output performance characteristics of switched reluctance machines (SRM) is the accurate estimation of the minimum inductance of the stator phase at unaligned position of the rotor. In this paper, boundary element method (BEM) is used for this purpose while avoiding time-consuming numerical integrations. So, the method is investigated in terms of accuracy and computatio...

Computer-optimised smooth-torque current waveforms for switched-reluctance motors

The paper discusses the design of current waveforms for switched-reluctance motors, which give rise to a constant (ripple-free) torque. The waveforms are optimised by computer search techniques, to give the lowest RMS current per phase consistent with producing smooth torque. Furthermore. the waveforms are constrained to be within the converter’s VA rating. Current waveforms and the associated ...

On torque ripple reduction in current-fed switched reluctance motors

This paper addresses a basic control issue in switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives—the production of a ripple-free torque. Simple and largely model-independent conventional supply waveforms are not able to satisfy this requirement. The goal of this paper is to improve SRM dynamical performance by compensating for motor nonlinearities, while maintaining the robustness of conventional methods. ...
