This paper presents a description and the results of simulations and laboratory tests of proposed methods for dependent torque control in a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). The proposed methods are based on Dependent Torque Motor Control (Rising Slope), DTMC(RC), and Dependent Torque Motor Control (Falling Slope), DTMC(FC). The results of these studies were compared with those on the Classical Torque Motor Control (CTMC) method. Studies were conducted for each of the analyzed control methods by determining the efficiency of the drive and the RMS of the source current and analyzing the vibrations generated for each of the control methods. The harmonics of the phase currents, which caused an increase in the level of vibrations generated, were determined. The usefulness of the proposed methods for controlling SRMs was assessed based on simulations and experiments. Additionally, the natural frequencies of the stator of the tested SRM were determined by a simulation using the Ansys Maxwell suite. The levels of vibration acceleration generated by the SRM were compared for the considered control methods.

The switched reluctance motor gains a significant response in industries in the past decade because of its ruggedness, high torque to inertia ratio, simple structure, high reliability and inexpensive manufacturing capability. These features make it a suitable candidate for various applications and electric drives. However, In the field of electric drives a switched reluctance motor drive is having doubly salient structure thus it inherently produces high torque ripples and acoustic noise problems and its controlling difficulties that is an undesirable effect for vehicle applications, especially at low speed. The main objective of this paper is to minimize the torque ripples and to control its speed. In this paper a fuzzy logic controller based direct torque control method is used for speed controlling and for controlling of torque ripples of the 8/6 SRM drive. It’s modelling and application of fuzzy logic controller based direct torque control method is done in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

<p>Numerous studies had been made to improve the switched reluctance motor operation depend on the modification of the machine design, proposing the converter designs and/or applying a suitable control method. This paper introduces the field orientation control method for that motor using a simple and very efficient DC-DC converter topology. This control method is presented by two techniques; first technique is the advance of the turn-on switching angle and the other technique is the retard/delay of the turn-off switching angle. Instantaneous and average motor characteristics are obtained using Matlab/Simulink software package. Comparison between the simulation results presented using two converter types. A precise speed and torque control are obtained. The average total torque per current is maximized.</p>

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) provide a potential candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications due to rigid structure, potentially low production cost, the absence of permanent magnets, excellent power-speed characteristics, and high reliability and robustness. This paper aims to review the current research on the design, winding topologies, converter topologies, and control methods of switched reluctance motors (SRMs). Torque ripple and vibration are the main drawbacks of SRMs, which constrain their application. To conquer these drawbacks, multi-phase SRMs (MSRMs), optimum structure, and control methods of SRMs have been utilized over the past decades. In this paper, MSRMs with multiple combinations of stator/rotor poles and winding arrangements are investigated. Different converter topologies are compared, and a full-bridge converter is suitable for SRMs used in EVs. Torque sharing function, direct torque control, and direct instantaneous torque control are the main control methods to reduce the torque ripple of SRMs, which have been comprehensively summarized.
