Vibration Reduction of Switched Reluctance Motor under Static Eccentricity with Optimized Current Harmonic

Aiming at the problems of severe vibration of switched reluctance motor (SRM) and the transfer of the peak vibration caused by newly produced radial magnetic force under static eccentricity (SE), this study proposes a vibration reduction method for SE. First, the analytical relationship between the radial magnetic force harmonics and the current harmonics is derived. 2D Fourier decomposition is used to analyse the temporal–spatial characteristics of force harmonics and the vibration response under SE. Then the expression of the force harmonic, which causes the peak vibration, is used as the optimisation function of current harmonics. According to the analyses in this study, it is difficult to consider vibration reduction and torque simultaneously by single-order current harmonic optimisation and the unreasonable optimisation range of current will seriously affect the output performance. Therefore, a reasonable optimisation range is set based on the above conclusions and the first five order current harmonics are optimised to improve the effect of vibration suppression further. The results of the finite element simulation verify the effectiveness of this method.
