Comprehensive Analysis and Optimized Control of Torque Ripple and Power Factor in a Three-Phase Mutually Coupled Switched Reluctance Motor With Sinusoidal Current Excitation

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of torque ripple and power factor for three-phase mutually coupled switched reluctance motors (MCSRMs) with sinusoidal current excitation. MCSRMs controlled by sinusoidal currents have the advantage of using the conventional voltage source inverter and the conventional vector control. However, MCSRMs are characterized by high torque ripple and low power factor. The torque harmonics due to the …
