Nonlinear predictive control for SRM based on TSE

A novel scheme for nonlinear predictive control of switched reluctance motor(SRM) based on target state equations (TSEs) is proposed in this paper. According to the nonlinear model of SRM, the offsets of the torque and angular speed of SRM is defined as TSEs by applying the nonlinear control theory. Based on TSEs and predictive control theory, a nonlinear predictive control for SRM control system is designed. Using the torque and angular speed as feedback variables, a nonlinear predictive control law is got. The designed controller is validated by software simulation and hardware experiment. The results of simulation and experiment show that the scheme has excellent dynamic and static performances, and good effects for restraining the ripple of torque of SRM simultaneously.
