Torque Ripple Minimization in Switched Reluctance Motor Drives by Using Converter Topology

Authors(2) :-H. S. Sakhare, Dr. K. B. Porate

Switched Reluctance motor (SRM) is gaining prominence due to its simple and rugged construction, absence of permanent magnets, low cost, fault tolerant capability and development in power electronics. Non-linear inductance profile and pulse magnetizing make the torque ripple unavoidable. But machine design and electronic control approaches have been used to minimize the torque ripple. The torque ripple can be reduced by improving the magnetic design of the motor and by using sophisticated electronic control techniques. The mathematical modeling of three phase 6/4 switched reluctance motor (SRM) is developed and integrated with different power converter topologies i.e. asymmetric bridge converter, miller converter and modified miller converter in Matlab/ Simulink environment along with hysteresis current control method.
