Abstract

Torque ripple minimization without decrease in average torque is a vital attribute in the design of Synchronous Reluctance (SynRel) motor. As the design of SynRel motor is an arduous task, which encompasses many design variables, this work first analyses the significance of the effect of varying the geometrical parameters on average torque and torque ripple and then proposes an extensive optimization procedure to obtain configurations with improved average torque and minimized torque ripple. A hardware prototype is fabricated and tested. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software tool used for validating the test results is MagNet 7.6.0.8. Multi Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) is used to determine the various designs meeting the requirements of reduced torque ripple and improved torque performance. The results indicate the efficacy of the proposed methodology and substantiate the utilization of MOPSO as a significant tool for solving design problems related to SynRel motor.
