Fuzzy logic based control of switched reluctance motor to reduce torque ripple

Abstract

This paper presents torque ripple reduction of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) by using fuzzy speed controller. In this purpose, current control is applied with fuzzy speed controller. Fuzzy controller adjusts value of reference current to keep speed constant. In this study, the nonlinear model of SRM is used and the motor used in simulation is a 8/6 SRM with C-Dump converter.
