This study introduces a current reshaping neural network (CRNN) to significantly reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motors (SRMs). The CRNN optimizes current profiles for smoother motor operation.
Area of Science:
- Electrical Engineering
- Control Systems
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are widely used but suffer from high torque ripple.
- Torque ripple limits the performance and application range of SRMs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose and validate a novel Current Reshaping Neural Network (CRNN) for mitigating torque ripple in SRMs.
- To enhance the operational smoothness and efficiency of SRMs through precise current control.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of the relationship between current and electromagnetic torque using an indirect torque control method.
- Development of a CRNN to model current and generate precise phase currents.
- Implementation of CRNN with implicit function based on total current and rotor angle, adjusted via proportion differentiation compensation current.
Main Results:
- The CRNN effectively reduces torque ripple by modifying phase current profiling.
- Simulations and experiments on a three-phase 12/8 SRM demonstrated the method's efficacy.
- Consistent performance was observed across various operating conditions.
Conclusions:
- The proposed CRNN is a viable solution for reducing torque ripple in SRMs.
- This method improves SRM performance, enabling wider applications.
- The CRNN offers precise control over current waveforms for enhanced motor operation.
