Abstract
This work presents a control method applied to a non-sinusoidal PMSM in order to reduce the torque ripple. Due to the machine’s back-electromotive force (Back-EMF) not having a sinusoidal shape, there will be a torque ripple due to the interaction of the Back-EMF and the stator currents when classic vector control methods are used. In order to mitigate this problem, resonant controllers will be configured to minimize the 6th and 12th harmonics in the quadrature axis current. A state feedback controller is used and the controller gains are calculated by pole placement through the Ackerman Method. For the practical implementation, interpolating polynomials will be used that will allow to reduce the computational efforts. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method to reduce torque ripple and improve machine electrical performance.
