Abstract

Multi-phase segmented switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are the better option for in-wheel electric vehicles due to higher specific torque (70% more) and torque density than conventional toothed SRMs. Furthermore, it allows to excite two or more phases simultaneously in order to avoid torque dips during the phase commutations. However, conventional control schemes cause severe torque pulsations. In this paper, a new direct instantaneous torque control technique for a five-phase segmented SRM (SSRM) with bipolar excitation is proposed. SSRM is fed by the five-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) instead of a conventional asymmetric H-bridge (AHB) converter. The performance of the proposed control algorithm is validated through MATLAB simulations. Results show that the proposed control scheme exhibits an improved performance under a vehicle load.
