Background: The Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is considered to be effective for variable speed applications with high power density. A controller is designed for reduction of torque ripples and for speed control.
Methods: This paper presents a PSO based fuzzy controller for the switched reluctance motors (SRM). Results: The dynamic response of the SRM with the proposed controller is studied and the effectiveness of the proposed controller is compared with that of the fuzzy PI controller.
Applications: Hybrid electric vehicles, aircraft starter/generator systems, washing machines, automotive applications etc.
Keywords: Fuzzy PI Controller, PSO, SRM
