Result description
Performance: The synchronous reluctance machine will have 6 poles and 54 slots with flux barriers without radial ribs in order to improve motor performance. Flux barriers will be filled with epoxy adhesive resin to meet the mechanical strength requirements of the rotor core at high speeds (18.000 rpm). Average operational efficiency is around 92%, while peak exceeds 96%. This concept will be scaled to 75 kW by modifying motor active length.
Scope: compared to existing solutions in the market, the solution developed aims to achieve the following figures: +30% specific torque; -50% direct motor losses; +50% power density in power electronics; and -15% production costs in mass production.
