Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) have been receiving great attention in electric vehicle (EV) applications. However, the complicated control and inherent torque ripples are the major drawbacks of SRMs. This paper introduces a numerical estimation method for the optimum control parameters of SRM based on a simplified average torque control (ATC) strategy for EVs. The proposed control aims to simplify the control algorithm to cut down complexity and cost. Besides, it aims to achieve all the vehicle requirements. A multi-objective optimization problem is set to determine the most efficient excitation parameters that can fulfill the vehicle requirements. The objective function has two terms: torque ripple and efficiency. Proper constraints for both turn-on and turn-off angles are included in order to achieve high-performance control, maximum torque per Ampere (MTPA) production, and reliable operation. Besides, additional toque constraints are involved to ensure fast dynamics, high-performance torque tracking capability, and parameter insensitivity. The motor model is accurately achieved based on the experimentally measured torque and flux characteristics. Several simulations are executed to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control. Moreover, experimental results are obtained to validate the theoretical findings. It is observed that the proposed control has a significant reduction of torque ripples compared to the conventional control methods. The average reduction ratio of torque ripple over the speed range is about 72.43%. Besides, the proposed control succeeds in maintaining a very good efficiency and high torque/current ratio. It also has a fast-dynamic performance.

In this work, we deduce a new criterion that guarantees the oscillation of solutions to linear Sturm–Liouville delay noncanonical dynamic equations; these results emulate the criteria of the Hille and Ohriska types for canonical dynamic equations, and these results also solve an open problem in many works in the literature. Several examples are offered, demonstrating that the findings achieved are precise, practical, and adaptable.

In this study, novel criteria are derived to ensure the oscillation of solutions in nonlinear advanced noncanonical dynamic equations. The obtained results are reminiscent of the criteria proposed by Hille and Ohriska for canonical dynamic equations. Additionally, this paper addresses a previously unresolved issue found in numerous existing works in the literature on advanced dynamic equations. This study provides a range of illustrative examples to showcase the precision, practicality, and adaptability of the obtained findings.
