Αν θέλαμε νακάνουμε μια περιγραφή του κινητήρα μαγνητικής αντίδρασης και να δώσουμε έναν ορισμό,θα μπορούσαμε να πούμε ότι: «Ο κινητήρας μαγνητικής αντίδρασης βασίζει τη λειτουργίατου στη ροπή αντίδρασης (reluctance torque), ροπή αντίδρασης ονομάζεται η ροπή που επάγεται σε ένα σιδερένιο αντικείμενο όταν κάποιο εξωτερικό μαγνητικό πεδίο αναγκάζει το αντικείμενο αυτό να ευθυγραμμιστεί με το πεδίο. Αυτή η ροπή αναπτύσσεται επειδή το εξωτερικό μαγνητικό πεδίο επάγει ένα πεδίο στο σίδηρο του αντικειμένου, το οποίο τείνει ναευθυγραμμιστεί με το μαγνητικό πεδίο που το προκάλεσε.» Αρχικά μελετώνται οι βασικές αρχές λειτουργίας του κινητήρα μαγνητικής αντίδρασης.

Thesis (MEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis deals with different design aspects of the multi-flux barrier rotor of the reluctance synchronous machine (RSM). The effect of the different designs on the performance of the RSM is investigated by means of two-dimensional finite element analysis. The finite element analysis is also directly used in the optimum design of the rotor of the RSM. The importance of the use of the finite element analysis in the design and performance calculations of the RSM is illustrated in this thesis. The design aspects of the RSM which are focussed on in this thesis are, amongst other things, the chording of the stator winding, the skewing of the rotor and the ratio of the number of rotor flux barriers to the number of stator slots of the RSM. The effects of these design aspects on the average torque and torque ripple of the RSM are investigated and general design directives are given. The occurrence of flux pulsations in the stator teeth and rotor iron segments of the RSM are also studied to some extent. The finite element optimum design of a4-pole RSM-rotor with a high number of flux barriers is described in the thesis. This optimum designed rotor is built and the RSM with this rotor is tested in the laboratory. Its calculated and measured performances are studied and compared with a conventional, low number rotor flux barrier RSM. It is found, amongst other things, that the RSM with the high number of rotor flux barriers has a slightly higher average torque with a significantly lower torque ripple. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis handeloor verskillende ontwerp-aspekte van die reluktansie sinchroonmasjien (RSM) met 'n multi-vloedversperringsrotor. Die effek van die verskillende ontwerpe op die vermoë van die RSM is met behulp van twee-dimensionele eindige element analise ondersoek. Die eindige element analise is ook direk in die optimum ontwerp van die rotor van die RSM gebruik. Die belangrikheid van die gebruik van die eindige element analise in die ontwerp en vermoë-berekening van die RSM word in die tesis geïllustreer. Die ontwerp-aspekte van die RSM waarop in hierdie tesis gefokus word, is onder andere die spoelsteekverkorting van die statorwikkeling, die skuinsing van die rotor en die verhouding van die getal rotor-vloedverperrings tot die getal statorgIeuwe van die RSM. Die effek van hierdie ontwerpaspekte op die gemiddelde draaimoment en draaimoment-rimpel van die RSM word ondersoek en algemene riglyne vir die ontwerp van die RSM word gegee. Die voorkoms van vloedpulsasies in die statortande en rotor yster segmente van die RSM word ook deels ondersoek. Die eindige element optimum ontwerp van 'n 4-pool RSM-rotor met 'n hoe getal vloedversperrings word in die tesis beskryf. Hierdie optimum ontwerpte rotor is gebou en die RSM met hierdie rotor is in die laboratorium getoets. Die berekende en gemete vermoë is bestudeer en vergelyk met die vermoë van 'n RSM met 'n konvensionele, lae getal vloedversperrings rotor. Dit is onder andere gevind dat die RSM met die hoë getal rotor-vloedversperrings 'n effens hoër gemiddelde draaimoment het met 'n behuidende laer draaimoment-rimpel.

Thesis (MScEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to critically evaluate the voltage injection position sensorless control technique as applied to the reluctance synchronous machine (RSM) drive and to implement the technique on a 5.5 kW RSM and a 110 kW RSM. The technique is evaluated by using an accurate mathematical model of the RSM in a simulation package, called Simuwin. The negative effects that cross-magnetisation and the slotted air-gap have on the technique are intensively investigated. It was showed that these effects can cause an error in the position estimation of up to 30°. The TMS320F240 DSP was used as the controller for the RSM drives to implement the position sensorless control technique. Measurements on both RSM drives confirm the simulated results. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie tesis is om die spannings-injeksie posisie sensorlose beheer tegniek soos toegepas op die reluktansie sinchroon masjien (RSM) aandryfstelsel, krities te evalueer en te implementeer op 'n 5.5 kW RSM en op 'n 110 kW RSM. Die tegniek is geevalueer deur 'n akkurate wiskundige model van die RSM saam te stel en die model te gebruik in 'n simulasie pakket, genaamd Simuwin. Daar is veral klem gele op die negatiewe invloed wat kruis-magnetisering en 'n gegleufde lug-spleet op die tegniek het. Dit is bewys dat hierdie eienskappe van die RSM 'n fout in die posisie afskatting van tot 30° kan veroorsaak. Die TMS320F240 DSP is gebruik as beheerder vir die RSM aandryfstelsels om sodoende posisie sensorlose beheer op altwee masjiene toe te pas. Metings op albei stelsels bevestig die simulasies.

A direct for active power control using the proportional and integral controller and another technique using the sliding mode controller were developed. Initially a literature review and a study of the switched reluctance machine in order to understand its operation and its dynamic mathematical model were done. This thesis presents results of simulations to study the SRG operation with the controllers proposed in an ideal generation system connected to the grid. A non-linear dynamic mathematical model which takes into account the magnetization curves of the generator as a function of rotor position was used in the simulations carried out. The converter responsible for the SRG magnetization and for the capture of generated energy and the converter that sends the generated energy to the grid were mathematically modeled using the software SimpowerSystems Matlab R, which has a library of components and analysis tools for modeling and simulation of electric power systems and power electronics. The simulation results are shows and the proposed controllers performance during the operation of the SRG variable speed references with different active and reactive power are compared / Mestrado / Energia Eletrica / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

High-accuracy electromagnetic design and analysis of electric machines is enhanced by the use of various numerical methods. These methods solve Maxwell’s equations to determine the distribution of the electric and magnetic fields throughout the considered machine structure. Due to the complicated architectures of the machines and the nonlinearity of the utilized magnetic materials, it is a very challenging task to obtain an analytical solution and, in most cases, only a numerical solution is possible. The finite element method (FEM) is one of the standard numerical methods for electromagnetic field analysis. The considered machine domain is divided into finite elements to which the field equations are applied. FEM solvers are utilized to develop optimization procedures to assist in achieving a design that meets the required specifications without violating the design constraints. The design process of electric machines involves adjusting the machine parameters. This is usually done through experience, intuition, and heuristic approaches using FEM software which gives results for various parameter changes. There is no guarantee that the achieved design is the optimal one. An alternative approach to the design of electric machines exploits robust gradient-based optimization algorithms that are guaranteed to converge to a locally-optimal model. The gradient-based approaches utilize the sensitivities of the performance characteristics with respect to the design parameters. These sensitivities are classically calculated using finite difference approximations which require repeated simulations with perturbed parameter values. The cost of evaluating these sensitivities can be significant for a slow finite element simulation or when the number of parameters is large. The adjoint variable method (AVM) offers an alternative approach for efficiently estimating response sensitivities. Using at most one extra not-iterative simulation, the sensitivities of the response to all parameters are estimated. Here, a MATLAB tool has been developed to automate the design process of switched reluctance motors (SRMs). The tool extracts the mesh data of an initial motor model from a commercial FEM software, JMAG. It then solves for magnetic vector potential throughout the considered SRM domain using FEM taking into consideration the nonlinearity of the magnetic material and the motor dynamic performance. The tool calculates various electromagnetic quantities such as electromagnetic torque, torque ripple, phase flux linkage, x and y components of flux density, air-region stored magnetic energy, phase voltage, and phase dynamic currents. The tool uses a structural mapping technique to parametrize various design parameters of SRMs. These parameters are back iron thickness, teeth height, pole arc angle, and pole taper angle of both stator and rotor. Moreover, it calculates the sensitivities of various electromagnetic quantities with respect to all these geometric design parameters in addition to the number of turn per phase using the AVM method. The tool applies interior point optimization algorithm to simultaneously optimize the motor geometry, number of turns per phase, and the drive-circuit control parameters (reference current, and turn-on and turn-off angles) to increase the motor average dynamic torque. It also applies the ON/OFF topology optimization algorithm to optimize the geometries of the stator teeth for proper distribution of the magnetic material to reduce the RMS torque ripple. A 6/14 SRM has been automatically designed using the developed MATLAB tool to achieve the same performance specifications as 6110E Evergreen surface-mounted PM brushless DC motor which is commercially available for an HVAC system. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

In order to present technological advances (both old and new) to a wider variety of engineers, new methods such as Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) must be adopted. By defining the requirements, design, and implementation of such an environment, the design and product development cycle can be both improved and reduced. The ability to upgrade existing software tools as well as include new tools should be examined. This thesis presents the design of a general purpose CAE environment for motor drive systems. The development of a CAE package for Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive systems is used to illustrate the method. Two existing software packages are modified for inclusion, and the development of a new module for the dynamic analysis of the entire drive system is presented. / Master of Science

The Switched Reluctance Motors(SRM) have gained considerable attention in the variable speed drive market mainly due to the simple construction of the motor and the possibility of developing low cost converters and controllers. As these machines are under development, a considerable amount of research effort is directed to the experimental performance evaluation of the SRM drives. System efficiency, electromagnetic torque, torque ripple, output and losses are some of the required measurements. / Master of Science
