Abstract
This paper adopts simple analytical modeling to investigate the contribution of air-gap field harmonics to the torque production in some three-phase, 12-slot/8-pole doubly salient synchronous reluctance machines (DSRMs) with both conventional and mutually coupled winding configurations. The air-gap flux density has been calculated based on the analytically obtained magnetomotive force and doubly salient air-gap permeance for both the double-layer and single-layer DSRMs with different winding configurations. Then, the contribution of different air-gap field harmonics to average torque and torque ripple can be investigated and validated by direct finite-element analyses. It has been found that in the DSRMs, the 10th-order harmonic in the double-layer conventional winding (DLC), the 4th-order harmonic in the double-layer mutually coupled winding (DLMC), the 7th-order harmonic in the single-layer conventional winding (SLC), and the 10th-order harmonic in the single-layer mutually coupled winding (SLMC) have the highest contribution to positive average torque and with positive influence on torque ripple reduction. However, the 2nd-order harmonic in the DLC, the 8th-order harmonic in the DLMC, the 5th-order harmonic in the SLC, and the 2nd-order harmonic in the SLMC machines mainly reduce the average torque.
