Abstract— The agricultural motors need a more precise control and simple operation to have wet fields and better irrigation systems. The PV driven SRM is considered in the paper because, the robust operation and speed controls are available. The closed loop control of the motor is also tested, and a comparative analysis has been done for various controllers applied to SRM and the performance characteristics have been analyzed. The results obtained in the PID controller, Fuzzy logic Controller, SMC controller and the hybrid Fuzzy – neural controller, the closed loop control are compared to the open loop control.
