Design of a Deflection Switched Reluctance Motor Control System Based on a Flexible Neural Network

Abstract

Deflection switched reluctance motors (DSRM) are prone to chattering at low speeds, which always affects the output efficiency of the DSRM and the mechanical loss of the motor. Combining the characteristics of a traditional reluctance motor with the strong nonlinear and high coupling of the DSRM, a control system for a DSRM based on a flexible neural network (FNN) is proposed in this paper. Based on the better robustness and fault tolerance of fuzzy PI control, the given speed signal is adjusted and converted into a torque control signal. As a result, the FNN control module possesses the strong self‐learning ability and adaptive adjustment ability necessary to obtain the control voltage signal. Through sim-ulations and experiments, it was verified that the control system can run stably on DSRM and shows good dynamic performance and anti‐interference ability.
