Optimisation of Torque Ripples in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor using Hysteresis Current Controller

Abstract

This paper’s primary goal is to investigate and analyze how a particular PWM technique enhances the performance of PMSM drives. The objective of the analysis is to reduce torque ripples, which are fluctuations or variations in the motor’s torque output. Reducing these torque ripples involves combining the Hysteresis Control and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) techniques. Hysteresis Control is a method that compares the actual value of a parameter (in this case, torque) with a reference value and takes appropriate control actions based on the comparison. SVPWM, on the other hand, is a sophisticated technique used for generating pulse width modulation signals that can control the motor precisely and efficiently. The research findings suggest that combining the Hysteresis Control technique with SVPWM in the PMSM motor drive makes the system more effective and efficient. This combination likely reduces torque ripples, leading to a smoother motor operation. Using both techniques together probably enhances the precision and stability of the motor control system.
