Flux switching Motor (FSM) was invented in the 19 th century but started gaining importance after 2000. The simple structure and moderate cost of FSM, in comparison with existing commutated Direct Current (DC) and Permanent Magnet Brushless Direct Current (PMBLDC) motors, have made it attractive for contemporary applications. Currently, FSM is employed in research applications like automobiles, domestic appliances, power generation, etc. To make FSM a viable candidate for these applications, modifications are made to the design, power converters, and control systems of FSM. This article comprehensively reviews the various control topologies adopted for FSM, which encompasses the control of torque and speed. Different control algorithms like 1) linear controllers, 2) sensorless techniques, 3) predictive controllers, and 4) optimization techniques are discussed extensively based on existing literature. Further, a case study is carried out using these control algorithms, and the simulation results are analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
