Abstract

This paper considers torque ripple minimisation control for switched reluctance motors (SRMs) and presents a novel on-line approach to the estimation of instantaneous torque. An adaptive B-spline neural network is used to learn the nonlinear flux linkage and torque characteristics of an SRM. The training of the B-spline neural network is accomplished on-line in real-time. anid the system does not require a priori know-ledge of the SRM"s electromagnetic characteristics. The potential of the torque estimation method is demonstrated in simulation and experimentallx using a 550W 8/6 four-phase SRM operating in saturation, and it has been applied successfully to torque ripple minimisation. © 2004 IEEE.
