It also employs a search algorithm based on a multi-objective function to determine optimum excitation angles to increase SRM drive performance. The MATLAB/Simulink environment is used to model and analyze the SRM drive control system. The simulation results demonstrate the drive system's smooth efficiency with reduced torque ripple over a speed range due to the optimum turn-on and turn-off angle selection. The ATC technique is selected as an ideal alternative for the SRM drive control system against other control strategies due to the wide-speed range application in an electric scooter. © 2021 IEEE.Average Torque ControlElectric VehicleOptimum excitation anglesSwitched Reluctance Motor
