Rotor & Stator Design on Torque Ripple Reduction for a Synchronous Reluctance Motor with a Concentrated Winding using RSM

This paper deals with optimum design criteria to minimize the torque ripple of a concentrated winding Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The feasibility of using RSM with the finite element method (FEM) in practical engineering problem is investigated with computational examples and comparison between the fitted response and the results obtained from an analytical solution according to the design variables of stator and rotor in a concentrated winding SynRM (6 slot).
