Abstract

In this study, we realized a controller design which can reduce torque
ripple of 10/8 Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). To perform the study, a
Switched Reluctance Motor with 5 phase, U type segmental rotor was used. The
control of the SRM was actualized by bipolar converter used H-bridge topology.
The control signals of converter are obtained by control circuit designed by
using dsPIC33EP512MU810. One of the reasons of the current ripples in the SRM
is ON-OFF times in a period of the control signals. When the ripples of the
current reduced, the ripples of torque of the SRM also reduced. Therefore, in
this study, the ON-OFF times in a period of phase control signals were
determined by an algorithm used particle swarm optimization. When SRM was
controlled by this algorithm developed, the decreasing of its torque ripples
was determined.
