A Novel Linear Switched Reluctance Machine: Analysis and Experimental Verification

The important problems to be solved in Linear Switched Reluctance Machines (LSRMs) are: (1) to design the shape and size of poles in stator and translator cores; (2) to optimize their geometrical configuration. A novel stator geometry for LSRMs that improved the force profile was presented in this study. In the new geometry, pole shoes were affixed on the stator poles. Static and dynamic charac...

Design and Performance Evaluation of a Medium Power Pm-assisted Reluctance Synchronous Traction Machine Using Bonded Pm-sheets

This paper describes the optimum design of a permanent-magnet-assisted reluctance rotor of a 110 kW reluctance synchronous traction machine. Previous studies show that the performance of the pure reluctance synchronous machine drive deteriorates fast in the flux-weakening speed region. To address this problem, thin bonded permanent-magnet sheet material is used inside the flux barriers of the r...

Design of a Permanent-Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Machine for a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle

In this thesis, a permanent-magnet assisted synchronous reluctance machine (PMSynRel) design is presented for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle application. Apart from operating as a traction machine to propel the vehicle, the machine is also used when the vehicle’s battery is charged from the grid. This additional functionality puts restraints (that are discussed in the thesis) on the final ma...

Optimum Design Parameters for Synchronous Reluctance Motors

A series of synchronous reluctance motors (RSM) are analysed using finite element methods. The amount of iron in each rotor is kept the same. It is shown that the saliency ratio is not only dependent on the flux guide reluctance factor but also on the position or span of flux guides. It is also shown that an axially laminated design may not be an optimum configuration due to large number of flu...
