ELECTRIC MACHINE CONTROL SYSTEM INCLUDING A TORQUE SMOOTHING DEVICE

An electric machine control system includes a torque smoothing device including a torque monitoring device connected to the electric machine and supplying torque signals. A smoothing processor receives the torque signals and receives at least one torque reference signal and produces torque smoothing signals. A smoothing generator receives the smoothing signals and supplies smoothing electric power to the machine to make its torque conform to the torque reference.
