Optimization design for SRM based on the regulation model of ampere density and coil space factor

In the preliminary design process of switched reluctance machine (SRM), adjusting the number of wingding turns or cross-sectional area of conductor to optimize windings design has dramatic effects on the performances like torque density, efficiency and thermal dissipation and so on. However, the difficulty exists on how to guarantee these performances while optimizing winding design. This paper proposes an analytical optimization design method based on an regulation model of ampere density and coil space factor, which can directly determine the optimal number of winding turns, the cross-sectional area of conductor, the ampere density and the coil space factor. And a MATLAB pre-design program has been developed to provide two design schemes respectively with and without the optimization model. The comparison analysis has been further carried out with finite element analysis (FEA). The simulation results verify that the performances can be highly improved with the proposed optimization model.
