DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF SYNCHRONOUS RELUCTANCE MOTOR (SynRM) USING MATLAB SIMULINK

In recent years, the synchronous reluctance motor SynRM has become an important part in many electrical and mechanical industries. The SynRM has several characteristics and features which made it different from other types of motor that previously used in many industries in the same field. This paper presents the modelling, analysing and simulation of synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drive system, and present a part of differences in feature and design between the SynRM and other reluctance motors. The SynRM mathematical fundamental has formed by using the dynamic equations of the motor. Technically, the d-q transformation strategy has been employed for the vector control method of the SynRM to convert the three-phase voltage into two-phase. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation technology has used to modelling and simulation the SynRM model without rotors cage or magmatic material. The six sectors of mechanical SynRM have converted to six MOSFET transistors and electrical power supply to represent the fundamental of three-phase voltage source. Hence, the MATLAB Simulink environment has used to simulate and modify the SynRM model and represented the direct and quadratic axes voltages, and the feature of SynRM modelled to include speed and torque with different frequencies and load conditions.
