The industrial application of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) is limited by its high torque ripples caused by the doubly salient structure. In this article, an improved direct torque control (DTC) with sliding mode controller and observer is developed to reduce the torque ripples of a four-phase SRM. First, a sliding mode controller based on a new reaching law is developed for designing a sliding mode speed controller (SMSC) for the DTC system. An antidisturbance sliding mode observer (ADSMO) is then proposed and combined with the SMSC to build a composite antidisturbance speed control strategy. Moreover, detailed simulation validations are carried out to reveal the effectiveness of the new reaching law, SMSC and ADSMO. Finally, experiments are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed SMSC-ADSMO in a DTC system with a four-phase SRM prototype.
