Design and optimization of synchronous reluctance machine

This paper deals with the design of synchronous reluctance machine of the transverse-laminated type. Rotor design has been made for two different rotor geometries based on general design recommendations. These geometries are studied and compared by using 2D finite element analysis. The geometries are developed by optimization algorithms after that. The optimized parameters are torque ripple and average value of the torque. Finally optimized design is compared with initial one. Stator for purpose of this study is used from standard asynchronous machine.
