A new offline current modulation using a neuro-fuzzy compensation scheme for torque-ripple reduction in switched reluctance motors is presented. The main advantage of the proposed technique is that the torque signal is unnecessary. The compensating signal is learned prior to normal operation in a self-commissioning run, capturing the necessary current shape to reduce the torque ripple. Simulation results verify first the effects of speed and then load changes on the compensator performance. Implementation of the proposed technique in a laboratory prototype shows the feasibility and accuracy of the respective offline scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
