Abstract
Various embodiments are described herein for an extended-speed low-ripple torque control of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) using online torque sharing function (TSF). Two operational modes of an online TSF are defined during the commutation: In Mode I, absolute value of rate of change of flux linkage (ARCFL) of incoming phase is higher than outgoing phase; in Mode II, ARCFL of outgoing phase is higher than incoming phase. To compensate the torque error produced by imperfect tracking of phase current, a proportional and integral compensator with torque error is added to the torque reference of outgoing phase in Mode I and incoming phase in Mode II. Therefore, the total torque is determined by the phase with lower ARCFL rather than the phase with higher ARCFL as in conventional TSFs.
