Design for torque ripple reduction of a three-phase switched-reluctance machine

摘要

This paper describes the design of a three-phase switched-reluctance machine in which there are overlaps between the phase current pulses in order to minimize the torque ripple, especially for high-speed operation. The machine dimensions are optimized by the finite-element method coupled to a cyclic process. Theoretical and experimental results obtained with the angle control strategy are presented.
