Optimized Segmental Rotor Switched Reluctance Machines With a Greater Number of Rotor Segments Than Stator Slots

摘要: Segmental rotor switched reluctance machines have been demonstrated to produce significantly more torque than conventional because each coil is able link magnetic flux. In previous work, the range of topologies studied has relatively restricted; there no consideration stator tooth and segment number options, designs not formally optimized in any way. This paper seeks address this: Using finite-element toolsets for optimization, it describes resulting machines-uniquely featuring a greater segments teeth. assesses credible with option maximize capability. From this assessment, conclusions are drawn, which contrast machine's performance based on criteria including production loss. order validate optimization process, prototype machine built, its compared these predictions.
