In this paper, several types of torque distribution functions (TDFs) are presented for the instantaneous torque control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives. To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed TDFs, two different categories—parameter non-adaptive and parameter adaptive functions—are introduced and analyzed. These different types of TDFs are systematically implemented in instantaneous torque control schemes to enhance the performance of SRM drives. The proposed torque control method, incorporating these various TDFs, is modeled and simulated in PSIM software to validate the presented control schemes. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in achieving precise torque control and improving the dynamic performance of SRM drives.

An in-wheel motor is a system in which a drive motor is mounted inside a wheel along with a braking device, and the motor inside the wheel directly drives the wheel. An SR motor drive in replace of the conventional PM motor drive for in-wheel motor system has been proposed and analyzed. Two different types of converters were selected and their feasibility in terms of different current control schemes was analyzed and validated through dynamic simulation using PSIM software.
