Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A control system ( 128 ) for controlling a switched reluctance (SR) machine ( 110 ) having a rotor ( 116 ) and a stator ( 118 ) is provided. The control system ( 128 ) may include a converter circuit ( 122 ) operatively coupled to the stator ( 118 ) and including a plurality of switches ( 132 ) in selective communication with each phase of the stator ( 118 ) and a controller ( 130 ) in communication with each of the stator ( 118 ) and the converter circuit ( 122 ). The controller ( 130 ) may be configured to determine a position of the rotor ( 116 ) relative to the stator ( 118 ), and generate a modulated switching frequency ( 152 ) based on the rotor position.
