| Sumario: | This project focuses on the design and characterization of a Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) for traction applications. The work involves the development of an optimized electromagnetic design using Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations, aimed at achieving high performance in electric propulsion systems. The main objectives include obtaining the torque-speed characteristic and the efficiency map of the machine. To achieve these goals, the project begins with a comprehensive study of the state-of-theart in SynRM topologies and configurations found in the technical literature. Based on analytical calculations, the fundamental geometric dimensions of the motor are derived, forming the basis for the initial design. These preliminary results are then validated and refined through FEM simulations using dedicated electromagnetic software. The methodology integrates both theoretical and simulation-based approaches to ensure the motor meets the desired operational specifications for traction. Special attention is paid to the efficiency and torque capabilities of the machine under various operating conditions. The final design serves as a proof of concept for the feasibility and competitiveness of SynRM technology in the field of electric mobility. |
