Abstract

Due to their simplicity, robustness, high performances and reduced cost, the variable reluctance machines (VRM) occupy today a place of choice in the electromechanical conversion of energy. Hence the growing interest for the study and the design of a new structures more successful and better adapted to the new requirements. The purpose of this paper is to propose a useful and comprehensive design methodology for a doubly salient VRM (DSVRM) according to a numerical-analytical approach by finite elements method (FEM) and equivalent magnetic circuit (EMC).
