Abstract

In this paper, a direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) optimization scheme based on adaptive dynamic hysteresis (ADH) strategy is proposed for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive system. This method can further improve the torque tracking accuracy, reduce torque ripple and solve the problem of smooth transition between SRM phases. According to the torque generation characteristics and hysteresis rule of DITC, the traditional hysteresis rule is modified, and the sampled discrete torque slope data are compensated online. Taking the slope curve after compensation as the standard, the upper and lower limits of the hysteresis controller are assigned to achieve the control effect of hysteresis dynamic regulation. The effectiveness of the method is verified by simulation under diferent operating conditions.
