Abstract
This paper describes a technique to obtain optimal torque control parameters of a switched reluctance motor (SRM). A relationship between dc-link voltage and rotor speed is used, reducing the number of control parameters. Using a nonlinear motor model, surfaces are created describing torque, torque ripple, and efficiency as function of rotor speed and the main control parameters. Next, optimization software generates optimal control parameter combinations out of these surfaces for equidistant torque-speed performance. The advantage of this technique is an offline optimization platform and the simplicity to create additional surfaces (e.g., acoustic noise, vibrations, …).
