Optimized instantaneous torque control of switched reluctance motor by neural network Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • An artificial neural network (ANN) based torque control scheme of switched reluctance motor (SRM) was used which generates optimal current profiles to reduce torque pulsation. For each speed and torque below base speed, several current profiles were observed to produce desired torque without any pulsation. Selected optimal current profiles were used to train a neural network which recreates the optimal profile on-line. Torque pulsation can be reduced by selecting, by dynamic model, current profiles which have a wider turn on and turn off characteristics, thus allowing ANN have a better chance to learn the profiles. The experimental results agreed well between commanded and developed torque validating the effectiveness of the torque control scheme.
