Abstract: Transient simulations of models are required for the study of several phenomena and calculation of some physical quantities. For instance, in the case of a switched reluctance machine (SRM), conducting transient simulations allows the calculation of electromagnetic torque ripple. This can be very time consuming, especially when using an iterative optimization algorithm to smooth the developed electromagnetic torque. In this paper, Output Space Mapping Proportional (OSMP) and Manifold Mapping (MM) are presented as a solution to accomplish a fast determination of the optimal control parameters of a SRM in order to improve its performance. A description of the considered optimization problem is also provided, along with a detailed presentation of the coarse and fine models used. Finally, optimization results are presented, analyzed and validated using finite element-based model as well as measurements on the SRM prototype.
Keywords: Optimization, switched reluctance machine, Output Space Mapping, analytical model, finite element model, experimental validation
