PROJECT TITLE :

A Partitioned Stator Variable Flux Reluctance Machine

ABSTRACT:

This paper proposes a partitioned stator variable flux reluctance machine (PS-VFRM) in that field and armature windings are placed on two separate stators. The influence of different stator/rotor-pole mixtures on the electromagnetic performance is examined using finite-element analysis. Candidate designs maximize the typical electromagnetic torque. Compared against the traditional single stator VFRM, the proposed PS-VFRM is shown to supply twenty four.half-dozen% and 12.sevenpercent will increase in torque density and efficiency, respectively. The static electromagnetic performance is validated using experimental prototypes.
