This paper presents an investigation on the self-sensing capability of a dual three-phase synchronous reluctance motor. Self-sensing refers to ability motor properly operate in sensorless drive. The multiphase machine is decomposed into two different systems according multi-stator approach. Several supply scenarios are studied where windings controlled at operating points along reference trajec...

The electric machine and the control system determine performance of vehicle drivetrain. Unlike rare-earth magnet machines such as permanent synchronous (PMSMs), reluctance machines(SynRMs) are manufactured without magnets. This allows them to be used an alternative machines. However, one main drawbacks this is its high torque ripple, which generates significant acoustic noise. most typical met...

Nowadays, due to the confidence in modeling tools and rapid product iteration, electric machine designers primarily rely on simulations. This approach reduces time cost is very useful when comparing different topologies. The prototype stage usually comes after depletion of all simulation resources. When designing a synchronous reluctance machine, first step selection rotor barrier type. literat...

This paper studies fault-tolerant operation of multipole single-phase switched reluctance generators (SRG’s), in particular, an 8/8-pole switched reluctance machine. The multipole single-phase SRG system is advantageous for reduced cost and higher efficiency compared to polyphase equivalents. However, using the classical phase-leg topology, a phase fault may prevent generating operation complet...
