A finite element analysis for a synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) is presented with emphasis on the effect of saturation and iron losses. Preisachs model, which allows accurate prediction of iron losses, is adopted in this procedure to provide a nonlinear solution. This technique provide significant properties of proposed SynRM under the magnetic saturation and iron losses effect.

This paper presents a synchronous reluctance motor drive for maximum torque to current (MTC) considering magnetic saturation. Measured d-axis and q-axis inductances are used to obtain current angle vs. maximum torque curve using torque equation. Maximum torque to current control is achieved by the current angle and stator current for maximum torque from the current angle vs. maximum torque curve at a given torque reference.

This paper propose a method to design the rotor of synchronous reluctance motors(SynRM) for maximum torque and power factor by using DOE(design of experiment) with the design variables which are parameters of barriers and segments. In this process, there are problems that require lots of simulation time and number of simulations when calculating the both torque and power factor using the finite element method in order to find load angle, core loss per speed. In order to improve this problem, we calculate only value of flux linkage by finite element method, and can decrease analysis and the number of analysis time by applying steady state expression of the power factor and torque. Finally, in order to verify the characteristics of optimal model, we make prototype motor and compare with the conventional SynRM. In this experiment, we use the DC current decay test for calculating d-and q-axis inductance.

In case of the synchronous reluctance motor, the torque is proportional to silency difference and the power factor is in proportion to silency ratio. This paper presents the rotor design variable that has a effect on silency difference and silency ratio for getting a maximum torque and a power factor in the synchronous reluctance motor. To carry through the object, a number of the analysis model is reduced by DOE (Design of Experiments) and the main effects are found by the FEM (Finite Element Analysis).

Recent interest in the synchronous reluctance motor has increased in possible applications such as home appliance, hybrid electric vehicles, etc. This paper presents a brief review of the research and development of synchronous reluctance motors, carried out up to now, from the designers' viewpoint. In addition, the key points in the design of synchronous reluctance motors and a new design method for innovating on their rotor structures are discussed.

Average torque of PMa-SynRM(Permanent Magnet-assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor) is changed by magnet form inserted to the barrier. Because the magnet structure inserted to the barrier influences to the magnet-torque and reluctance torque. Therefore, this paper present a suitable permanent magnet form design for maximum torque when the magnet quantites are always fixed. And each motor characteristic such as average torque, torque ripple, cogging torque and back-EMF are analyzed by FEM(Finite Element Method) for optimal design.

In this paper, LS-SynRM (Line Start-Synchronous Reluctance Motor) has been attracting attention in replace of induction motor which hardly provides high efficiency. Compared to induction motor, LS-SynRM has better efficiency per unit area. This study demonstrated the electromagnetic design methods of LS-SynRM while maintaining the frame of existing IE3 induction motor for blower. We documented the design procedures for generating high saliency which is the most essential and mechanical stress analysis is also treated. In conclusion, we proved the validity of our design by manufacturing and testing our LS-SynRM models.

This paper presents an implementation of high-dynamic performance control system of Reluctance Synchronous Motor(RSM) drives for an industrial servo drive system with direct torque control(DTC). The estimation of the stator flux and torque are obtained by using flux observer which a saturated inductance Ld and Lq of d-q axises can be compensated by using the neural network from measuring the modulus and angle of the stator current space vector. To obtain fast torque response and maximum torque/current, the reference command flux is ensured by imposing Ids=Iqs. The control strategy is proposed to fast response and optimal efficiency for RSM drive. The developed digitally high-performance control system are shown a good response characteristic of control results and high performance features using 1.0kW RSM.

This paper presents dynamic performance prediction using Matlab / simulink after parameter estimation of synchronous reluctance motor considering iron loss. Test motor is 3 phase SynRM with the segmental rotor, rating power is 0.175KW. Experiment equipment is consists of testing motor, dynamometer, vector invertor dynamocontroller, and power analyser. The stator iron loss and rotor iron loss are modelled by additional windings on three-phase winding axis. These windings are transformed into d-q axis, and are represented as equivalent eddy current windings. P-Q circle diagram method and single phase standstill method are used to measure motor parameters considering iron loss.

This paper presents an implementation of digital control system of speed sensorless for Reluctance Synchronous Motor (RSM) drives with DTC. The control system consists of stator flux observer, rotor position/speed/torque estimator, two hysteresis band controllers, an optimal switching look-up table, IGBT voltage source inverter, and TMS320C31 DSP controller by using fully integrated control software. The stator flux observer is based on the combined voltage and current model with stator flux feedback adaptive control that inputs are current and voltage sensing of motor terminal with estimated rotor angle for wide speed range. The rotor position is estimated by observed stator flux-linkage space vector. The estimated rotor speed is determined by differentiation of the rotor position used only in the current model part of the flux observer for a low speed operating area. It does not require the knowledge of any motor parameters, nor particular care for motor starting, In order to prove the suggested control algorithm, we have a simulation and testing at actual experimental system. The developed sensorless control system is shown a good speed control response characteristic results and high performance features in 50/1000 rpm with 1.0Kw RSM having 2.57 ratio of d/q reluctance.
