Abstract: This paper presents different vector control strategies in order to improve the performance of a synchronous reluctance motor. As the torque control is directly related to the current control, many strategies can be implemented. Depending on the criterion to be optimised, there are therefore many strategies. The suitable control strategy choice is mainly determined by the way the current reference values will be defined. For that purpose, four techniques are detailed: constant current control, maximum torque per Ampere; maximum torque per Weber, and maximum power factor control. All these techniques have been simulated in MATLAB/Simulink, and precise comparison of their characteristics is brought out. The obtained results are satisfactory and good performance is achieved, such as response time, torque ripples reduction, and current improvement. These results will help in deciding which of the four-vector control strategies can be employed in high-performance drive applications, and when and under what conditions.
