Current shapes leading to positive effects on acoustic noise of switched reluctance drives

Abstract

A torque ripple minimization technique for switched reluctance motors is shown in this paper. Precalculated current shapes are applied to reduce torque ripple and to raise the degrees of freedom of the application in the commutation region. The optimization criteria for this region can be chosen freely. Therefore, it is possible to take positive effect to some motor characteristics like power losses, mechanical vibrations or acoustic noise.
