This paper describes a consideration of the excitation circuit of a switched reluctance generator (SRG). The SRG is a doubly salient machine. It does not contain any magnets or brushes, and the phases are completely independent. The rotor is made of laminated iron and it does not have any winding. However, the conventional excitation circuit of this machine is an asymmetry half bridge converter...

Variable reluctance linear machine (VRLM), which takes advantages of magnet free, simple structure and low cost, is one the emerging candidates for long stroke application. However, due to abundant harmonics in air gap, conventional modular suffered from thrust ripple leads vibration acoustic noise problem. The force VRLM mainly caused by higher-order induced voltage detent force. To furtherly ...

The performances of the synchronous reluctance motor are essentially dependent on the magnetic dissymetry of the machine, respectively of its rotor, as in [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. The last one is made from grain-oriented steel laminations, alternating with insulation and non-magnetic material. The fastening is realized with clamping plates and screws made from non-magnetic material (brass ...

The cage and reluctance rotors are two major types of rotor structures used in the doubly fed brushless machine (DFBM). In order to study comparatively the effects of different rotor structure on the DFBM, a prototype machine has been specially designed and built. The experimental parameter and performance comparisons between the axially laminated anisotropic (ALA) and cage-rotor machines are p...

Permanent magnet synchronous machines generate parasitic torque pulsations owing to distortion of the stator flux linkage distribution, variable magnetic reluctance at the stator slots, and secondary phenomena. The consequences are speed oscillations which, although small in magnitude, deteriorate the performance of the drive in demanding applications. The parasitic effects are analysed and mod...

This article deals with the performance improvement of a toothed pole variable reluctance machine excited by permanent magnets housed in stator yoke.
