Combining the main advantages of the permanent magnet synchronous motors and pure synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM), permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMaSynRM) has been considered as a promising alternative to the conventional induction motors. In this paper, utilizing a macroscopic design parameter, called insulation ratio along the q-axis, and based on the magnetic ...

Various electric machines can be the candidate for electric vehicles applications, including induction machines, permanent magnet synchronous machines, switched reluctance machines, etc. Another class of machine, which has been relatively ignored, is synchronous reluctance machines. In order to enhance and increase torque density of pure synchronous reluctance machines, the low cost permanent m...

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...

This article presents a performance comparison of an interior mounted permanent magnet synchronous generator (IPMSG) with a synchronous reluctance generator (SynRG) with the same size for a wind application. It is found that using the same geometrical dimensions, a SynRG can convert 74 % of the power that an IPMSG can convert, while it has 80% of the IPMSG weight. Moreover it is found that the ...

Synchronous generators are of two type’s salient pole type and round rotor type. The load angle curve of a cylindrical rotor synchronous machine comprises a single sine term only while in salient pole synchronous generators, power-angle characteristic has two terms. The first term is the fundamental component due to field excitation (the same as the cylindrical rotor) and the second term ...

It was recently presented that the Reluctance Synchronous Motor (RSM) is well suited for variable gear electric as well as for hybrid electric vehicles. This paper deeply investigates the capabilities of a Reluctance Synchronous Motor and proposes a multi parameter estimation scheme for Reluctance Synchronous Motor under variable-speed control. The proposed control evaluation model is fully eff...

in this paper, the design and implementation of adaptive speed controller for a sensorless synchronous reluctance motor (synrm) drive system is proposed. a combination of well-known adaptive input-output feedback linearization (aiofl) and adaptive backstepping (abs) techniques are used for speed tracking control of synrm. the aiofl controller is capable of estimating motor two-axis inductances ...
