| description | Torque sharing function (TSF)-based switched reluctance motor (SRM) control is an effective approach to minimize torque ripple and maximize efficiency. This study investigated the influence of the rotor geometry to overcome the inherent torque and current tracking error of used TSFs. Parameters of the TSF were optimized according to several objectives. A finite element method simulation model of the motor was built and verified to evaluate the objective functions. The optimization result is a set of functions that calculate optimal values of the start angle and overlap angle of the sinusoidal TSF for every operating point of the motor. Different objectives, including efficiency and a torque ripple, lead to different functions for calculating start and overlap angles. The research showed that if efficiency is the most important objective, it is possible to determine a suitable rotor pole geometry. For other criteria, the choice of rotor geometry is not so clear-cut and requires consideration of the SRM operating modes. |
