Impact of the Intermittent Control on the Torque Pulsation of a Switched Reluctance Machine

The aim of the intermittent control is to increase the global efficiency of Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) and its power converter in automotive applications. However, the SRM is characterized by torque ripple which could affect the driving experience and needs to be minimized. This paper analyses the torque pulsation impact of the intermittent control on the SRM in electric vehicle and proposes different sliding strategies of this control to reduce such impact. This is done by analyzing the electromagnetic torque and the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle given by a particular electric vehicle drivetrain.
