Abstract
This research article explores a comparative investigation on synchronous reluctance motor (SyRM) for electrified transportation system. The SyRM has salient features like absence of magnet, singly excited but it shrinks its application due to high torque ripple aspects. The novelty of the proposed work is the rib and flux barrier of the rotor in SyRM are modified in order to achieve low torque ripple without affecting the average torque of the motor. Analysis in the electromagnetic domain infers to enhance the sustainability and reliability of the transportation system. So, it results in the reduction of torque ripple, leads to minimize the acoustic noise. This article delivers the geometric optimization to achieve SyRM with low torque ripple. The finite elemental analysis infers the torque ripple, losses and unbalanced magnetic force for SyRM. The notched and round barrier type SyRM with one-layer results acts as superior motor among different layers and geometries. The experimental arrangement is carried out in real time vehicle and the results are obtained for different loading conditions and validated with FEA findings.
Keywords: Electric Vehicle, Layers, Power Density, Synchronous Reluctance Motor, Torque Ripple.
