contents Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are cost-effective electric actuators that utilize magnetic reluctance to generate torque, with torque ripple arising from unaccounted manufacturing defects in the rotor tooth geometry. This paper aims to design a versatile, resource-efficient commutation function for accurate control of a range of SRMs, mitigating torque ripple despite manufacturing variations across SRMs and individual rotor teeth. The developed commutation function optimally distributes current between coils by leveraging the variance in the torque-current-angle model and is designed with few parameters for easy integration on affordable hardware. Monte Carlo simulations and experimental results show a tracking error reduction of up to 31% and 11%, respectively. The developed approach is beneficial for applications using a single driver for multiple systems and those constrained by memory or modeling effort, providing an economical solution for improved tracking performance and reduced acoustic noise.
