Overview
This webinar presents an overview of three robust and scalable solutions: the induction motor, the electrically excited alternator, and the switched reluctance motor.
- The induction motor offers proven reliability, ruggedness, and cost-effectiveness, making it well suited for demanding duty cycles
- Electrically excited alternators eliminate permanent magnets while enabling precise control of excitation and high efficiency across wide operating ranges
- Switched reluctance motors provide a simple, magnet-free rotor structure, high fault tolerance, and strong performance in harsh environments, albeit with challenges in torque ripple and acoustic noise
What You Will Learn
- Outline of the key components of induction, electrical excited and switched reluctance rotating machine model, including the electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and thermal domains
- Parameter identification, from winding resistance and inductance to rotor inertia and back-EMF profiles
- Both analytical and finite element approaches, comparing their accuracy, complexity, and computational requirements
- Coupling between electromagnetic and thermal effects for high-performance applications
