Synchronous Reluctance Machine (SynRM)

Symbol

Description

Model of a three-phase Synchronous Reluctance Machine (SynRM). In motor operation torque and speed have the same sign. Rotor Angle is defined as an angle between the a-phase magnetic axis and the d-axis.In this model, the saturation can be modeled using a piecewise linear approximation of direct and quadratic axis inductances. Stator winding is star connected in this model. To access the neutral point pin, check the "Neutral Point" checkbox in the properties menu.

Electrical model and equations

vd_vq_circuits

$v_a = R_s i_a + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{aa} i_a + L_{ab} i_b + L_{ac} i_c)$

$v_b = R_s i_b + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{ba} i_a + L_{bb} i_b + L_{bc} i_c)$

$v_c = R_s i_c + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{ca} i_a + L_{cb} i_b + L_{cc} i_c)$

where $\omega_r = N_{pp} \Omega$ is the electrical speed of the rotor field.
Phase inductances ( $L_{aa}$ , $L_{ab}$ , $L_{ac}$ ,..., $L_{cc}$ ) are calculated from the rotor reference frame inductance ( $L_{d}$ , $L_{q}$ ) defined in the property panel as the incremental inductance.
This component will use the lineary interpolated inductance when the current is between the two segmented points.

Electromechanical equations

Electro-magnetic torque:

$T_e = 1.5 * N_{ pp}*(i_q * \phi_d - i_d * \phi_q)$

where $\phi_d = L_d i_d$ and $\phi_q = L_q i_q$

Mechanical rotational speed $\Omega$ :

$J \frac{d\Omega}{ dt} = T_e - B \Omega$
