Abstract

Flux Reversal Machine (FRM) integrates the features of permanent magnet synchronous machines and switch reluctance machines due to the presence of permanent magnets in the stator tooth and the robust structure of the rotor. In this paper, a model of a 250-watt flux reversal machine with 12 stator slots and 17 rotor teeth is designed. Using the Taguchi optimization method with the help of Minitab, the flux reversal machine is designed to achieve minimum torque ripple and maximum output torque. The most important achievement of this paper is optimization with precise planning of the Taguchi method to determine the optimal combination of the desired parameters as well as acceptable compliance of the predicted results with the simulation results of Altair Flux.
