A Computationally Efficient Algorithm for Rotor Design Optimization of Synchronous Reluctance Machines

On the Influence of Increased Stator Leakage Inductance in Single-Tooth Wound Synchronous Reluctance Motors

“…Usually the direct axis magnetizing inductance is significantly larger than the quadrature axis magnetizing component, by careful design of the rotor flux barrier arrangement [1,10,16]. It can be shown by considering the phasor diagram that the maximum achievable power factor in a synchronous reluctance machine is a function of the saliency ratio and can be determined by [24];…”

“…Many authors have considered synchronous reluctance motor design improvements [6][7][8][9], but are all with distributed winding arrangements. A large number of papers are concerned with rotor flux barrier optimization, for example [10,11] or permanent magnet assisted variants [12,13]. An exploration of the effect of stator leakage inductance cannot be found in the literature and this inductance is usually neglected in literature.…”

A Benchmark TEAM Problem for Multi-Objective Pareto Optimization of Electromagnetic Devices

“…For some time there has been a need to create a benchmark which could ultimately be used for multi-objective problems, [2] and [3], with particular emphasis on Pareto optimization. In fact, a multi-criteria design is usually needed in many problems of real-life engineering: from classical applications such as electrical machines [4] and [5] to the newest devices in the micro electro-mechanical systems or nano electro-mechanical systems area [6], the approach in terms of multi-objective optimization is more and more used. Moreover, according to the rationale of the no-free lunch theorem, new algorithms need to be tested on specific issues [7]- [9].…”

Electromagnetic–Mechanical Design of Synchronous Reluctance Rotors With Fine Features

“…When designing the transversely laminated variant, the number of flux barriers and their shape (otherwise known as 'guides') [3], the ratio of iron to air in the barrier windows [4], known as the insulation ratio, or the barrier placement [5] is typically investigated. Other authors have also investigated various analytical and computational barrier optimization techniques [6,7]. Materials selection has also become an increasingly popular areas for research [8,9] with high-speed synchronous reluctance machine design being of little consideration.…”
