Analytical design of a synchronous reluctance motor (SRM)

Abstract

The aim of this project is to analitically design a switched (synchronous) reluctance motor from its equivalent magnetic and electric circuit and the analysys of its performance using the finite elemnt method with the FEMM software. A comparison is carried out between the utilisation of two different rotors (simple salient pole rotor and axially laminated rotor) and the effect that they have on the performance of the motor and key parameters.
