Aa. Arkadan et Aa. Russell, Effects of converter excitation on the performance of axially laminated anisotropic synchronous reluctance motor drives, IEEE MAGNET, 35(3), 1999, pp. 1865-1868
An indirectly coupled State Space-Finite Element (ICSS-FE) model of Axially
Laminated Anisotropic (ALA) Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) drive sys
tems is used to evaluate the impact of converter excitation on the machine
performance characteristics. The model utilizes an iterative approach which
includes the full impact of nonlinearities on the machine magnetic circuit
, and which results in the nonsinusoidal flux waveforms in the different pa
rts of the machine. The modeling approach is applied to a prototype ALA Syn
RM designed far use in hybrid vehicle applications.
