MILLER, SENIOR MEMBER, IEEE, STEPHEN R. MACMINN, MEMBER, IEEE, AND JAMES S. THORP, SENIOR MEMBER, IEEE Abstract-In the control of adjustable speed drives, the performance mutator motors and ac sine-wave motors because the in- of inexpensive digital integrated circuits is approaching the stage where stantaneous torque is ideally constant in the steady state traditional control algorithms may be displaced by new algorithms that and is therefore indistinguishable from the average better exploit their speed and the functional capabilities of their soft- . ware. The concept of instantaneous torque control is introduced as torque However, there is now a great increase in the use an objective worth pursuing in the application of such digital ICs to of drives based on motors that do not have constant in- drive systems. Instantaneous torque control would in principle permit stantaneous torque: for example, ac motors fed with the fastest possible response and the elimination of torque ripple, along square-wave current or voltages; brushless dc motors with with many other advantages not possible with conventional control al- square-wave excitation; stepper motors; and many single- gorithms, most of which are set up to control a time-averaged torque. . v Some of the fundamental principles of instantaneous torque control are phase ac motors with some form of electronic speed con- developed for the switched reluctance motor, which is used as an ex- trol. ample because, like the brushless dc permanent-magnet motor with This suggests the possibility of controlling the instan- concentrated windings, it has the potential for rapid response, but it taneous currents or flux linkages in such a way as to pro- can have appreciable torque ripple with unfavorable firin
