摘要：AbstractIn this paper, a nonlinear backstepping controller design is proposed for torque ripple minimization in switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive systems, which ensures less acoustic noise and less vibration. The proposed controller is based on a model taking into account the stator coils magnetic saturation phenomenon. For the torque ripple optimization purpose, the excitation angles are adapted according to the instantaneous SRM torque and speed values. Therefore, a lookup table is built, proposing the excitation angles optimal values for different machine operation points. The proposed control strategy validation was carried out by simulation, using MATLAB-Simulink tools. More specifically, the Simpower system library was exploited, since it offers an SRM simulator, taking into account magnetic saturation. To highlight the supremacy of the proposed controller, its performances are compared with those of conventional linear (PI) regulator. The obtained results validate the proposed controller robustness and efficiency.
