Reyad Abdel-Fadil, L?szl? Sz?mel

Abstract:
This paper presents current ripple minimization of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) during phases conduction period by using Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) for electric vehicles (EVs) applications. The FLC is applied for current control in SRM to keep the motor current value tracked the reference signal with minimum ripples in current, and hence the torque ripples will be minimized. The PI speed controller is used to generate the reference current signals depending on the command motor speed. In this study, the nonlinear model of 6/4 SRM is used in a simulation with symmetrical converter, and the controller is performed on C-code. The response of the proposed controller is studied under different loading conditions, and the obtained results verify that the FLC is an efficient control technique for the SRM current control compared to traditional techniques such as Hysteresis Current Control (HCC).
