Fuzzy Logic Controller Design for Switched Reluctance Motor

Vikramarajan Jambulingam

Abstract: The switched reluctance motor rugged in construction therefore it can be suitable for vibrating and high temperature zone. But the main drawback of switched reluctance motor is large torque ripple. This produces vibration and noise in the motor. Therefore in order to overcome that problem the fuzzy logic controller is implemented. Due to the fuzzy logic controller output torque of the switched reluctance motor can be regulated within the hysteresis band. This paper describes the mathematical model of SRM motor and fuzzy logic control technique. In addition to this the simulink model of switched reluctance motor with fuzzy control technique is designed and tested through MATLAB/Simulink software. The parameters like speed and torque are represented graphically.
