Abstract

Hybrid switch reluctance motors are the family of switch reluctance motors (SRMs) that attenuate the magnetic saturation and increase the air gap magnetic flux by exploiting permanent magnets. The permanent magnet auxiliary air gap flux can affect the average torque and ripple. Commonly, the torque ripples reduction comes with the average torque drop. In this paper, the torque ripple reduction and average torque improvement are achieved for a 6/10 pole hybrid switch reluctance motor by inserting two symmetrical notches on its rotor. Also, the lengths of magnet and rectangular notches are optimized by the finite element method and sensitivity analysis. The comparison of the optimized design with the initial one carried out by finite element proves the efficiency of the proposed model.
