In this paper, a modified direct torque control (DTC) for permanent magnet synchronous machine is proposed, which enables important torque and flux ripple reduction by using voltage vectors with variable amplitude and angle. Conventional DTC presents some drawbacks, including large torque ripple, variable switching frequency and acoustic noise. The reason lies in that t h e switching table is c...

This paper presents a simple and novel procedure for acoustic noise reduction in Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) drive. The main sources of acoustic noise in a SRM are the radial magnetic force and torque ripple. To investigate the radial force, an analytical relationship between motor designs and drive parameters is required. Thus, in this method two mathematical methods for calculation of r...

A new offline current modulation using a neuro-fuzzy compensation scheme for torque-ripple reduction in switched reluctance motors is presented. The main advantage of the proposed technique is that the torque signal is unnecessary. The compensating signal is learned prior to normal operation in a self-commissioning run, capturing the necessary current shape to reduce the torque ripple. Simulati...

The paper presents a super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) regulator with neural networks (NN) of direct power command (DPC) for controlling the active/reactive power of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) using a two-level space vector pulse width modulation (2L-SVPWM). Traditional DPC strategy with proportional-integral (PI) controllers (DPC-PI) has significantly more active/reactive power r...

Simple power electronic drive circuit and fault tolerance of converter are specific advantages of SRM drives, but excessive torque ripple has limited its application. This paper presents a novel method of controlling the motor currents to minimize the torque ripple, using a neuro-fuzzy compensator. In the proposed control concept, a compensating signal is added to the output of a classical PI c...

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 ...

In the conventional DTC, the selected voltage vector is applied for the whole switching period regardless of the magnitude of the torque error. This can result in high torque ripple. A better drive performance can be achieved by varying the duty ratio of the selected voltage vector during each switching period according to the magnitude of the torque error and position of the stator flux. A dut...

This method minimizes flux and torque ripple in a Four-Switch inverter fed induction motor drive while the dynamic performance is not aff...
