Computer program for design of synchronous reluctance motors based on open-source software

Opisani su glavni tipovi sinkronih reluktantnih strojeva i uspoređeni sa sinkronim strojevima s permanentnim magnetima. Tri različite topologije transverzalno lameliranih rotora su objašnjene i implementirane u ONELAB programsko okruženje : rotori s kružnim, U i fluid barijerama. Osim automatizacije iscrtavanja navedene tri topologije korištenjem programskog paketa MATLAB razvijeno je i grafičko korisničko sučelje za lakše korištenje. Uz proračun mapa tok~struja omogućen je proračun gubitaka u željezu Steinmetzovom metodom. Usporedbom rezultata dobivenih iz alata ONELAB s komercijalnim alatima Infolytica MagNet i Motor-CAD verificirana je ispravnost rezultata.The most important topologies of synchronous reluctance machines were described and compared to permanent magnet synchronous machines. Three different topologies of transversally laminated synchronous reluctance machines were explained and implemented in ONELAB software : rotors with segmented, circular and flux barriers. Besides automating the process of drawing the geometry in a CAD software a graphical user interface (GUI) was developed for better user experience. In addition to obtaining flux maps through multiple 2D FE calculations iron losses can also be calculated using Steinmetz equation. Results from ONELAB are verified on a simple model by comparing them with the results obtained from commercial softwares Infolytica MagNet and Motor-CAD
