Aiming at solving the problem that the conventional current chopping control (CCC) of switched reluctance motor (SRM) had the disadvantages of unfixed switching frequency and poor current tracking performance, a fixed frequency deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) algorithm was proposed. The discrete prediction model of SRM was established based on the accurate analytic fitting of SRM static electromagnetic characteristics. In order to reduce the torque ripple, the deadbeat theory was used to calculate the voltage needed at the next moment to realize accurate tracking of the motor reference current. In order to further improve the efficiency, a new type torquesharing function was used instead of the traditional liner function. Based on the test data of the test prototype, a simulation platform was built in MATLAB/Simulink, and the simulation analysis was carried out. The simulation results showed that the proposed fixed frequency DPCC had a smaller current tracking error compared with the conventional CCC method, it also could effectively reduce the torque ripple of the SRM and improve the system efficiency.
