This paper presents three current control strategies for a switched reluctance machine (SRM). Two classical controllers are recall : the hysteresis and the proportional-integral controller. Dynamic and current ripples with both controllers are compared and discussed. Then, a new current controller qualified as "hybrid controller" is proposed. It is a combination of the two previous structures. The principle of this controller is detailed and its influence on the current control performance is described. The three strategies are first tested by simulation, and then on an experimental test bench.
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.
