Current Feeding of Switched Reluctance Motor. Optimization of the Current Waveform to Minimize the Torque Ripple

International audienceThe torque ripple remains one of the main problem linked to the use of switched reluctance motor. In order to use these drives in low speed application, we have imagined a current control, with optimized waveforms allowing torque ripple minimization. We have take account motor parameters and converter voltage limitations. We applied this control method to a 4kW drive
