Design Procedure and Preliminary Analysis for the Introduction of Axial Asymmetry in the Synchronous Reluctance Machines

This article presents a MATLAB-based iterative design strategy, aimed at the investigation of axially asymmetric design possibilities for electrical machines. The developed tool for this strategy has modifiable individual portions and the capability of selecting various design criteria. The current study showcases the interdependence of various design parameters on the output performance parameters of a synchronous reluctance machine, for a selected set of design constraints. A brief analysis of the interrelated variables is presented and an approach to study and establish better control over compromising parameters is proposed for future work.
