Description
Summary:Abstract A novel hybrid control strategy for reducing torque ripple in permanent magnet brushless direct current motors has been developed by combining the deterministic nature of direct torque control and the adaptive nature of fuzzy logic control. Direct torque control using space vector pulse width modulation has been developed. This technique ensures the near-sinusoidal nature of the stator and rotor current. The impact of commutation ripple corresponding to the sinusoidal current is reduced compared to square wave current in conventional direct torque control. Further, the fuzzy logic controller provides adaptive modulation in space vector to mitigate the torque ripple. The response of the proposed method has been analyzed in the time domain as well as in the frequency domain. Experimental results establish a significant reduction in torque ripple and minimization of high-frequency components. A comparative study with conventional direct torque control methods has also been presented.
