Abstract

Direct torque control (DTC) technique is the prominent control strategy, used to control the switched reluctance motor (SRM) with a reduced torque ripple in comparison to the traditional current control techniques. However, it draws higher phase current in order to maintain the required electromagnetic torque during phase commutation, thus reduces torque per ampere. To circumvent this issue, a new DTC method with an innovative switching sequence is introduced in this paper, which minimizes torque ripple as well as power loss. The efficacy of the proposed scheme is validated for four-phase SRM through detailed simulation studies and compared with the conventional DTC scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme exhibits an improved steady-state as well as dynamic performance under various operating conditions.
