In this paper, two kinds of torque ripple optimization methods are proposed for Switched Reluctance Motors due to the mutual coupling between phases. When phase number of SRM is more than two, SRM is often running in status of two phases excited simultaneously, then mutual inductance will be occurred between phases. The mutual coupling will affect the current waveform, thereby affecting the torque. This paper take a six phase 12/10 SRM as an example, four kinds of arrangements of stator magnetic polarity based on the two kinds of winding connections is given and the asymmetry of the magnetic distribution in the four modes is described. For NNSS arrangements of stator magnetic polarity, the phenomenon of asymmetry currents and the resulting torque ripple is analyzed using finite method.Based on the analysis of mutual inductance, the limitations of stator and rotor poles arc is given and an asymmetric control strategy is proposed to reduce the torque ripple.The simulation shows that the average torque is increased and the torque ripple is reduced.
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.
