test title 2Reluctance motors induce non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor; the rotordoes not have any windings and torque is generated through magnetic reluctance.Synchronous reluctance motors (SyRMs) have an equal number of stator and rotor poles.Reluctance motors can deliver high power density at low cost, so they are finding increasingapplication in the transport sector. Disadvantages include high torque ripple and thecomplexity of designing and controlling them. Advances in theory, computer design, andcontrol electronics can overcome these issues.This hands-on reference covers the concept and design of synchronous reluctance motors. Itconveys all key topics required to understand this technology. Chapters cover magneticmaterials, geometry, modeling, design and analysis, optimization, production technology, fault-tolerance, experimental validation, and self-sensing-oriented optimization.Synchronous Reluctance Machines: Analysis, optimization and applications is ideal forresearchers working on electrical machines and motors, particularly electric vehicles. Thewriters - experts from academia and industry - provide the reader with an excellentbackground and understanding of the core concepts involved in synchronous reluctancemotors such that they can engage in their own R&D.
