Abstract :
Due to the increasing complexity and requirements of various aircraft applications, the associated drive systems demand significant improvements in performance, speed of response and functionality, without leading to deterioration in efficiency and power density. Three such drive systems, the permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system, the switched reluctance motor drive system, and the induction motor drive system, are considered for such an application and a comparative study is presented. Three machine design software packages were developed by the authors for the purpose of comparative study based on electromagnetic considerations. Sample results obtained from the software packages for a wide range of power ratings are presented for the three motor drive systems.<>
