Optimizing Switched Reluctance Motor Control with Direct Torque and Flux Control (DTFC) through PV Array Integration

This paper presents a comprehensive feasibility study on the implementation of a photovoltaic (PV) system integrated with a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) controlled by Direct Flux and Torque Control (DFTC). The proposed system comprises a PV array, a DC-DC converter, and an SRM. The PV array is connected to the DC-DC converter, which, in turn, interfaces with the SRM. The study investigates the impact of this system on torque ripple and assesses the effectiveness of the SRM, taking into account variations in radiation and temperature. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is employed for PV system control, while Direct Torque and Flux Control (DTFC) is utilized for SRM control. The study’s results demonstrate the feasibility of implementing the PV system with SRM controlled by DFTC, highlighting substantial reductions in torque ripple, enhanced motor effectiveness, and improved overall system performance.
