We propose a control strategy for switched-reluctance motors with unknown load, which consists in two separate control loops, for the rotor (mechanical) dynamics and the stator (electrical) dynamics. The novelty of the approach resides in using an alternative rotor model which corresponds to that of an harmonic oscillator hence, it is linear in the rotation coordinates. The control law is of proportional-integral-derivative type and it is implemented through a virtual control input, generated via the mechanical torque of electrical origin. A second control loop is closed around the stator dynamics via a current tracking controller. As far as we know, we establish for the first time global exponential stability considering that the load torque is unknown.
