Abstract

Double Stator Switched Reluctance Machine (DSSRM) is a novel Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) with two stators and one rotor. This machine benefits from a short magnetic flux path and high power/torque density. DSSRM is a non conventional machine with limited information about heat dissipation which makes thermal analysis an essential stage for this novel machine. This paper using finite element method (FEM), present the two dimensional (2-D) thermal analysis of Double Stator Switched Reluctance machine (DSSRM) in order to observe real heat distribution in the parts of the machine. This analysis is carried out to observe the temperature distribution and maximum temperature for 1000 (RPM) range of speed. Simulation results for an 8/6 DSSRM are presented.
