Torque Control of a Switched Reluctance Motor for the Precision Position Control of a Tank Gun

전차 포신의 정밀 위치 제어를 위한 스위치드 리럭턴스 모터의 토크 제어

A torque control method of a switched reluctance motor for the position control of a tank gun is presented. One of the widely used torque control scheme, torque sharing function method, is investigated and a new torque sharing function method is proposed that extends the definition region of the conventional TSF to both the positive and negative torque production regions. By using this definition, all kinds of the control inputs that consider switching on/off angle control as well as the current profiling can be described. A parametrized representation of the current profiles is proposed by using a series of B-spline functions, which reduces memory requirement and enables additional controllers. Optimal determination of the TSFs are also investigated for various control objectives. Moreover, the comparison study of each objective is presented. Since this method generalizes all of the possible control input, the current and torque profiles obtained from the optimization are the most suitable control input that satisfy the objectives.
