This paper presents an optimal design for the rotor of a double stator switched reluctance machine. The effect shape on torque profile is analyzed first. Due to nonlinearity magnetic core and complex geometry, iterative approach developed automatically geometry using static finite element method. 12/8/12 prototype optimized. Simulation results validate effectiveness design.
Switched reluctance machines (SRMs) are low cost and fault tolerant alternatives for traction applications. Due to their relatively torque density high ripple, these have not been used in commercialized electrified power trains yet. The double-stator magnetic configuration, where a segmental rotor shared between two stators, is proven superior density, lower acoustic noise, pulsation. SRM (DSSRM) has potential of being the next generation motors since it combines advantages permanent...

However, under some conditions, this cannot achieve stabilization. Then, an additional output...

When technologies reach maturity, their energy and power conversion efficiencies can be only improved minimally. Therefore, research efforts need to invested into finding useful applications for losses, thus improving the systems overall consumption. The most common loss manifests itself as waste heat of low-, medium- high temperatures. This paper aims introduce an innovative thermal electric system, using magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) at its core.
