Unified Vector Torque Control for Reluctance Motor With Different Coil Pitch

This paper unifies the vector torque control of reluctance motor with different coil pitch in the classic vector model frameworks, including the typical switched reluctance motor (SRM), mutually coupled switched reluctance motor (MCSRM), synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) and so on. Based on the proposed vector model, the instantaneous electromagnetic torque of the reluctance motor is decoupled into two components. The first partial torque is called as the Synchronous-Speed Reluctance Force (SSRF), generated by the interaction of the <i>d</i>-axis and <i>q</i>-axis currents. The second partial torque is the Double-Speed Reluctance Force (DSRF), generated by the interaction between the <i>dq</i>-plane current and the 0-axis current. The torque formula can reflect the torque generation and fluctuation reasons, and the proportion of the two torque components is related to the ratio of the varying components of the motor&#x0027;s self-inductance and mutual inductance. Different types of reluctance motors can be summarized in the unified vector model. The conclusion is that the SynRM only contains the SSRF torque while the typical SRM and MCSRM contain both the SSRF torque and DSRF torque. The proposed unified vector torque control method is verified by simulations and experiments of 12-slot 8-pole reluctance motors with different coil pitch.

Experimental Study of the Wheel Drive EV with External Rotor Switched Reluctance Motor

Equiped with an electronic differential function in double wheel or four wheel electric vehicle drive, it must be driven by motor torque control precisely . Due to the nonlinear characteristics of the motor when the wheels switched reluctance motor drive, it is difficult to ensure motor torque and phase current relationship by the theoretical approach. This paper puts forward the experimental methods to get the different speed motor torque and given the relationship between the current , so as to make table, according to the rotation of the motor speed and torque requirements, the accurate switched reluctance motor torque control through given the current value in the future of the electric vehicle.

High-precision torque control of reluctance motors

A method for the high-precision torque control of a reluctance motor for servo applications is presented. The prototype is a three-phase, eight-pole reluctance motor driven by a MOSFET inverter. The current control as well as the speed control is performed by the software of a digital signal processor. The motor is supplied with sinusoidal current, and two current control methods are proposed. One is based on the vector control principle to achieve linearity between current and torque, and another is developed to obtain the maximum torque/current ratio. Due to the saliency, the instantaneous torque contains a large ripple component. In the case of the test motor, the ripple torque was as much as 26% of the rated torque under the sinusoidal current drive. Experimental results show that the ripple component could be reduced to 6% by superimposing the compensation current component on the current reference. >
