Abstract

This study proposes an improved finite‐state predictive torque control (FS‐PTC) to minimise the torque ripples of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive. Firstly, based on the accurate analytical method, a discrete time model is established for predicting the future states of SRM drive system. Secondly, to reduce the computational burden, a new switching table is constructed for the predictive controller by using the sector partition technique. Further, the torque ripple, copper losses, and average switching frequency are considered synchronously by using a multi‐objective cost function. As a result, the proposed FS‐PTC method not only can minimise the torque ripple but also can reduce effectively the copper losses and average switching frequency. Finally, the experimental results are carried out for a three phase 12/8 poles 1.5 kW SRM with the proposed control algorithm and the results are compared with conventional direct instantaneous torque control algorithm. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
