Due to their advantages, switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are interesting solutions for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion. However, they have the main drawback of high torque ripple. This paper develops a universal control (UTC) technique SRM that can fulfill all requirements under wide range speeds. The developed UTC involves two different techniques. It utilizes direct instantaneous (DITC) st...

This paper presents a new approach used for switched reluctance motors (SRM) speed control. Two nonlinear controller, one is variable structure with sliding mode controlled type (VSC) and the other is PI-like fuzzy controller (FLC), define a new control structure. The VSC acts mainly in a transient state which is increasing system stability limits. But, PI-like FLC controller acts in the steady...
