Abstract:
Synchronous reluctance machine is renowned for
high torque ripples due to its complicated and non-linear magnetic
path and saturation of rotor core segments during operation.
Improving the ripples effects in the machine is imperative for high
speed applications. This study investigates and propose methods
to improve torque ripples and cogging torque of synchronous
reluctance machine. Conventional method and mathematical
analysis used by fellow researchers are revisited in this paper and
its validity is investigated using FEM. Optimization techniques
specially designed for SynRM is used to verify the torque ripples
of couple of designs. Cogging torque of synchronous reluctance
machine is estimated using FEM in order to verify and compare
special scenarios.
