Fuzzy Logic Control of Switched Reluctance Motor for Electric Vehicles Applications

Abstract

Fuzzy logic control (FLC) can be used to mitigate the current ripple of electric vehicle (EV) switching reluctance motors. The main goal of this paper is to maintain a motor current value that fluctuates as little as possible while using SRM control with FLC. Depending on the speed of the motor, the PI controller is used to produce the reference current signals. For the controller's responsiveness in fault scenarios, the nonlinear model of the 10/8 SRM with symmetrical converter and C-code controller is applied during the simulation. FLC outperforms more traditional systems like hysteresis current control, according to studies of SRM current control under various fault scenarios.
