This paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. Although SRM possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. By using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the DC...

In this study, two types of multilevel convertors, cascaded multilevel inverter with separate DC sources and diode clamped multilevel inverter with common DC source are modeled and compared in the case of feeding of an induction motor. Here, SHEPWM technique is used as the switching strategy. Also a new variable torque feedback control on modulation index is presented, to preserve the induction...

The mathematical model of the equivalent circuit of a brushless DC motor switches during the operation due to commutation. This issue causes a sudden ripple in the output torque, which is called commutation torque ripple. Brushless DC motor drives suffer from commutation torque ripple, affecting the performance of the motor in practical applications. A discrete-time switched controller is propo...
