Design and Simulation of Synchronous Reluctance Motor in IE4 Efficiency Class
Mansour Rafiee
Abstract:   (193 Views)
The present study aims to design, analyze, and simulate the synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) based on the IEC90L frame and IE4 efficiency class. Initially, the permissible losses are calculated for the SynRM considering the given efficiency class. The SynRM is then designed using the calculated losses to generate the highest possible output power. In order to achieve optimal performance in terms of output power and power factor (PF), a parametric per-unit system is utilized for SynRM analysis, and the dimensions of various parts of the motor are determined based on design inputs (copper losses and magnetic loading). Subsequently, given this parametric model and the changing range of per-unit parameters, the characteristics of the available motors are thoroughly monitored with respect to output parameters, and the motor model is selected. To validate the analytical model, the finite element analysis (FEA) are conducted for the selected model, and the simulation results are compared with those of the analysis method and design inputs. Ultimately, to enhance overall motor performance, an optimization process was conducted, followed by a comprehensive evaluation of the optimized model to assess efficiency and torque improvements.
