Currently, torque ripple is a crucial factor hindering the application of the switched reluctance motor (SRM). Hence, it is of crucial importance to suppress this undesirable torque ripple. This paper proposes a new torque ripple suppression method of SRM based on the improved torque distribution function. Firstly, the electromagnetic characteristic model of a 8/6-pole four-phase SRM is established, and the cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) is used to complete the learning of each model. Then, the improved torque distribution function is planned based on the torque model to give the reference torque of each phase, and the inverse torque model is used to realize the mapping of the reference torque to the reference flux linkage. Finally, the duty of each phase voltage PWM wave modulation is output based on the PID control theory. The proposed accurate model-based planning scheme is implemented on the simulation platform, and the results shows that the maximum torque fluctuation of the output results is reduced to within 3%, and the average error is reduced to within 1%, which is much lower than the error of 15% under the traditional direct torque control method.
