Abstract
In order to define the best design structure of the synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) rotor, optimization must be carried out, implying the selection of the best alternative for each specific criterion. The optimization of an electrical machine is a complicated work involving meeting different criteria requirements while dealing with a range of constraints. In order to implement the optimization, it is necessary to process a huge number of options, changing the combinations of the factors affecting criteria and restrictions, which is a time-consuming process. This research presents the optimization technique that gives a mathematically proven solution of the optimal rotor design of a synchronous reluctance machine obtained by using metamodels in the form of local polynomial approximations. Analysis of the results of numerical modeling and experimental investigation has been performed in order to validate the developed technique and recommendations. SynRM rotor was manufactured, with the stator to be taken from the 1.1 kW W21 WEG induction motor, which makes possible the relevant experimental study. The performance analysis of the developed SynRM is shown in the paper.
