Enhancement of a 12/4 Hybrid-Excitation Switched Reluctance Machine with Both Segmented-Stator and -Rotor
2020
In order to combine the advantages of modularity and hybrid-excitation for motor torque and power density enhancement, this article proposes a 12/4 modular-topology, permanent magnet (PM) assist, hybrid-excitation switched reluctance machine (HESRM) with both segmented-stator and -rotor. The machine topology and basic operating principle are presented. Three key parameters of the machine are optimized for assessment on the torque production . The three-dimensional finite-element analysis is employed to consider the effects of end winding and core saturation. The static magnetic characteristics and dynamic performances are simulated and compared with a 12/4 segmented SRM (SSRM) without PM and a 12/10 segmented-stator HESRM. Two prototypes of the proposed 12/4 HESRM and a 12/10 segmented-stator HESRM with the same size are manufactured and developed for experimental verification. Both results show that the proposed motor can achieve higher dynamic average torque and higher power/torque density at high-speed operation. It also has a stronger starting capability, more rapid response for command changes, as well as better stability and tracking features.
