State Of The Art Of Switched Reluctance Motor For Torque Ripple Minimization

Abstract
Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is a type of synchronous AC machine that converts the reluctance torque into mechanical power. Torque pulsations are inherent in SRM due to the doubly salient structure of the machine. The SRM offers similar overall efficiency to an induction motor of the same rating since the windage and friction losses are comparable. Indirect torque control methods using Torque Sharing Functions (TSF) is applied for the minimization of the torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. The most classical and easily implemented controller is the hysteresis controller. The increase of the current ripples at steady state and the production of a variable switching frequency in hysteresis controller can be reduced by using sliding mode controller. This paper reviews their merits and limits based on a survey of the available literature to minimize torque ripple in Switched reluctance motor.
