Abstract: In view of the problems of slow response speed, large chattering and poor robustness of the traditional sliding mode control (SMC) method of switched reluctance motor (SRM), a speed control strategy for switched reluctance motor based on dual sliding mode controller is proposed in this paper. First, the global integral sliding mode speed controller (GISMSC) is designed to eliminate the process of reaching the sliding mode surface, improve the response speed and robustness, and reduce sliding mode chattering by improving the reaching law. Second, the disturbance sliding mode observer (DSMO) is designed to observe the load and unknown disturbances and feed-forward compensation to the above GISMSC, and then a dual sliding mode speed controller is composed, which is combined with model predictive control (MPC) as the outer speed loop to reduce torque ripple and improve speed control capability. Finally, the simulations and experiments take into account the sudden changes in speed and load as well as the mismatch of motor parameters. The results have indicated that the proposed method not only improves the speed control performance of SRM system, and reduces torque ripple, but also overcomes the influence of internal motor parameters changes and external disturbances so as to make the system have a stronger robustness.
