Optimum parameters and maximum torque performances of the synchronous reluctance machine

The permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance (SR-PM) machine can not only offer higher torque capacity and improved power factors compared with the conventional synchronous reluctance machine, but also own wider adjustable speed range compared with the permanent magnet machine. This paper presents a new method to optimize the key parameters of the machine under keeping the torque of the machine as large as possible by controlling the stator current. Nonlinear optimization and functional analysis are used to obtain the maximal torque at a certain speed. The investigation of many groups of the parameter data shows that the performance of a machine is influenced by various factors such as magnetic materials, the quantities of the material in the rotor, the turns of windings in the stator and so on. The best one should be chosen for applications. The trend of all the curves verifies the simulation results.
