Description
Summary:The relationship between the well-known competitive torque density and less-competitive power factor of reluctance synchronous machines (RSMs) is investigated in this study. The investigation was carried out by implementing a complete machine model in the optimization, with varying machine-pole number and flux-barrier number combinations. Furthermore, the study consists of a multiobjective design optimization implementing a weighted-factor optimization technique. Determination of the weighting of this specific parameter relationship enables the designer to select an optimum multiobjective relationship during optimization. A specific machine was selected for analysis, then analyzed and manufactured for validation of simulation results.
