Design and control for torque ripple reduction of a 3-phase switched reluctance motor

Abstract A major problem in switched reluctance motor is torque ripple, which causes undesirable acoustic noise and vibration. This work focuses on reducing the undesirable torque ripple in 6/4-pole three-phase switched reluctance motor by geometry modification and using control technique. The proposed method combined the specially skewed rotor pole shape with instantaneous torque control with sinusoidal torque sharing function. The results of geometry modification are analysed through the three-dimensional finite element simulation to determine the appropriate skewing angle. The drive performances of conventional and modified motor are compared through the simulations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is also demonstrated and verified by the simulations.
