Torque Ripple Minimization of Variable Reluctance Motor Using Reinforcement Dual NNs Learning Architecture

The torque ripples in a switched reluctance motor (SRM) are minimized via an optimal adaptive dynamic regulator that is presented in this research. A novel reinforcement neural network learning approach based on machine learning is adopted to find the best solution for the tracking problem of the SRM drive in real time. The reference signal model which minimizes the torque pulsations is combined with tracking error to construct the augmented structure of the SRM drive. A discounted cost function for the augmented SRM model is described to assess the tracking performance of the signal. In order to track the optimal trajectory, a neural network (NN)-based RL approach has been developed. This method achieves the optimal tracking response to the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation for a nonlinear tracking system. To do so, two neural networks (NNs) have been trained online individually to acquire the best control policy to allow tracking performance for the motor. Simulation findings have been undertaken for SRM to confirm the viability of the suggested control strategy.
