This article proposes a nonlinear controller based on feedback linearization (FL) for synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drives which takes into consideration the magnetic saturation. The proposed FL control technique has been developed starting from theoretical definition of an original dynamic model SynRM taking both self- and cross-saturation effects. Such permits dynamics speed axis flux ...

The variable reluctance electrical machines had an essential role in the changes in electric machine technology during the last 30 years, when digital and power electronics and computerized design methods suddenly started to expand. As new boundaries are set up in both power electronic devices and digital control, the researchers reacted with new inventions and adaptations of electrical machine...

A switched Reluctance motor (SRM) has several desirable features, including simple construction, high reliability and low cost. However, it suffers from large torque ripple, highly non-uniform torque output and magnetization characteristics and large noise. Several studies have succeeded in torque ripple reduction for SRM using Direct Torque Control (DTC) technique. DTC method has many adva...
