For switched reluctance motors, one of the major problems is torque ripple which causes increased undesirable acoustic noise and possibly speed ripple. This paper describes an approach to determine optimum magnetic circuit parameters to minimize low speed torque ripple for such motors. The prediction of torque ripple is based on a set of normalized permeance and force data obtained from numerical field solution for doubly-salient geometries. For that purpose a neural net is trained to extract the data needed to predict the torque produced by a given geometry and excitation at any position of teeth, Hence the static torque curve can be constructed and torque ripple can be found. The accuracy of the approach developed is illustrated by comparing measured and predicted torque for a switched reluctance motor. The optimum parameters for minimum torque ripple conditions are sought using the augmented Lagrangian method. The paper presents the optimization results, and then proceeds to determine the range of a geometric parameters which keep the torque ripple within +/- 10 of the optimum value.

Direct Torque Control of a 4-Phase Switched Reluctance Machine Petrus, V.; Pop, A. -C.; Martis, C. S.; Iancu, V.; Gyselinck, J. (2011-09-10) Due to its doubly salient structure and highly nonlinear behavior, the Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) operates with very high torque ripple. To overcome these inconveniences different average and instantaneous torque control techniques were developed. This paper presents an instantaneous torque control technique named Direct Torque Control (DTC) implemented on a 4-phase, 8/6, 0.75kW SRM. Simulations results with modified flux observer and with fast torque response are presented and discussed, along with ...
Prediction of torque and inductance displacement characteristics of asymmetrically slotted variable-reluctance motors using a simplified model for numerical field solution Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (1999-09-01) For prediction of static and dynamic performance of doubly-salient motors, it is essential to know their flux linkage-position-excitation characteristics and also the static torque characteristics. At the design stage determination of these characteristics presents difficulties because of highly nonlinear behavior of the magnetic circuit. It is possible to use numerical field solution of the complete motor to obtain this information. This, however, requires expertise on a professional program and may be exp...
Design and Optimization of Reduced Torque Ripple Rotary Voice Coil Motor Çakal, Göhkan; Zeinali, Reza; Keysan, Ozan (2018-10-25) Voice coil motors (VCMs) are becoming more popular due to their small size and high dynamic performance. They are commonly used in hard disk drives and vibration isolators in optical systems. Torque ripple is an important performance index for rotary VCM. In order to reduce torque ripple and make their dynamic performance better, various parameters of two different rotary VCM topologies are studied with finite element analysis. The effects of magnet separation angle, coil separation angle and coil type on t...
A sliding mode controller to minimize SRM torque ripple and noise Bizkevelci, E; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Ertan, HB (2004-01-01) This paper is an attempt to eliminate the torque pulsation of switched reluctance (SR) motors. It is well known that pulsed radial and tangential forces are the source of acoustic noise problems often mentioned in relation to SR motors. In this study, to control the force pulsations, phase voltage is selected as the control variable contrary to what is often encountered in the literature. The authors believe that cost effective implementation of this choice is now technically possible. Selection of appropri...
Optimum geometry for torque ripple minimization of switched reluctance motors Sahin, F; Ertan, HB; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Emerald, 1995-12-01) This paper briefly describes an approach to determine the optimum magnetic circuit parameters to minimize low speed torque ripple for switched reluctance (SR) motors. For prediction of the torque ripple, normalized data obtained from field solution and a neural network approach is used. Comparison of experimental results with computations illustrates the accuracy of the method. The optimization method is briefly described and some results are presented.
