Description
Summary:This paper presents an optimal design for the rotor of a double stator switched reluctance machine. The effect of the rotor shape on the torque profile is analyzed first. Due to the nonlinearity of magnetic core and complex geometry, an iterative approach is developed to automatically shape the rotor geometry using static finite element method. The rotor of a 12/8/12 prototype is optimized. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the optimal design.
