Torque Ripple Minimization Scheme of Synchronous Reluctance Machine for Electric Vehicle

This work aims at solving the torque ripple effect problem minimization in synchronous reluctance machines. The objective is realized by controlling the currents in the synchronous reluctance machine in respect to the reference current and as well, leads to the control of the torque of the machine thereby; reducing the torque ripple effect. In the first, Field -Oriented Control (FOC) is used to control the current of the machine in respect to the reference current. In the second, the Maximum Torque Per Ampere MTPA as well as the Optimal Current control approach are applied for the same purpose. The obtained results are analyzed and the best architecture is selected with the use of a Proportional Integral (PI) controller.
