Analysis of Torque Ripple Reduction in Synchronous Reluctance Machines when Applying Different Control Strategies

This paper discusses and analyzes static control strategies to reduce torque ripple in Synchronous Reluctance Machines (SynRMs). The analyzed control strategies leveraged trading an acceptable conduction power loss increase concerning Maximum Torque Per Ampere (MTPA) operation to reduce torque ripple. The results showed the feasibility of peak-to-peak torque ripple reduction, which could support the reduction of the fundamental component of the torque ripple with active control approaches.
