A New Technique for Radial and Tangential Force Calculation Time Reduction for the Optimization Process of SRMs

This article introduces a new technique for reducing the time of calculating radial and tangential force density waves of switched reluctance machines (SRMs). The method is based on the finite element (FE) simulation of a fraction of an electrical cycle. The new approach shows that a significant tim...

description This article introduces a new technique for reducing the time of calculating radial and tangential force density waves of switched reluctance machines (SRMs). The method is based on the finite element (FE) simulation of a fraction of an electrical cycle. The new approach shows that a significant time reduction is achieved as compared to the time required for stator radial force density and the rotor tangential force calculation based on the one mechanical cycle simulation method. As the switched reluctance motors introduce new challenges in aspects such as acoustic noise, vibrations, and torque ripples, the method introduced in this paper will help reduce the time of the optimization process of switched reluctance machines in the design stage to improve the machine performance. The proposed method is applied to radial flux SRMs. Three different topologies were used to show the effectiveness of this technique in different force components with minimal error as compared to the benchmark method based on the FE simulation of one mechanical cycle.
