Description
Summary:Smart, Micro and Nano-grids are the future of electric power systems. In parallel with this future, electric vehicles (EVs) take a great deal of attention, as they are one of the important elements in these systems. Also, with the passage of time, the development continues in the technology of manufacturing EVs. Since the electric motor is the main component in these vehicles, research and development is continuing to find the most suitable motors that can work in such vehicles. The synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) is the newest motor used in this industry. SynRMs faces different challenges, one of which is the torque ripples. Different trials were used to reduce or eliminate or minimize these ripples. Most of previous work focuses on the SynRM design parameters to reduce torque ripples. In this paper, the control methodology and the strong action controller (SAC) are used as a tool to reduce these ripples. The simulation results showed the effectiveness of the application of the proposed SAC in ripples factor reduction. This reduction represents a new contribution over the already existed techniques.
