Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of double rotor synchronous reluctance machines. Different topologies of the proposed machine have been investigated, such as double rotor with double-sided stator and double rotor with single-sided stator machines. A comparison between these topologies has been conducted to understand the potential of improving the machine capabilities in terms of high average torque/power density, with respect to the conventional synchronous reluctance machine. The benefits of a double rotor topology are described in detail considering different number of stator slots. Furthermore, given the higher structural complexity with respect to a single airgap machine, a mechanical analysis of the inner and outer rotors has been conducted to assess the robustness of the inner and outer rotors iron ribs.

Highlights

  • DOUBLE rotor machines have been attracting the attention of both industry and academia thanks to their potential higher power density and lower torque ripple capabilities [1,2]

  • The aim of increasing the torque density of the synchronous reluctance machine to compete with the magnet topologies has been the main priority for developers of synchronous reluctance machine [15]

  • This paper presents an analysis of different double rotor synchronous reluctance (DRSynRel) machines considering a number of winding, slot/pole and flux barrier combinations

Summary

INTRODUCTION

DOUBLE rotor machines have been attracting the attention of both industry and academia thanks to their potential higher power density and lower torque ripple capabilities [1,2]. Double rotor machines with different rotor structures have been analyzed in [10,11] All those machines presented are showing higher torque density when compared to their counterpart single rotor machines. This paper presents an analysis of different double rotor synchronous reluctance (DRSynRel) machines considering a number of winding, slot/pole and flux barrier combinations.
