Abstract
An electric motor system includes a motor configured to produce a torque signal in response to a torque command. The torque signal has a fundamental frequency component, a first ripple harmonic and a second ripple harmonic. The first ripple harmonic is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency component. The second ripple harmonic is an integer multiple of the first ripple harmonic. A system and method is provided to generate a ripple reduction signal in response to the torque command that simultaneously cancels the first and the second ripple harmonic in the torque signal. The second ripple harmonic may be canceled with the first ripple harmonic by being projected onto the first ripple harmonic through a transformation matrix.
