@inproceedings { , title = {Double Rotor Synchronous Reluctance Machine: Analysis towards Torque Capability}, abstract = {© 2018 IEEE. This paper presents a comparative analysis of double rotor synchronous reluctance machines. Different topologies of the proposed machine have been investigated, such as double rotor with double-sided stator and double rotor with single-sided stator machines. A comparison between these topologies has been conducted to understand the potential of improving the machine capabilities in terms of high average torque/power density, with respect to the conventional synchronous reluctance machine. The benefits of a double rotor topology are described in detail considering different number of stator slots. Furthermore, given the higher structural complexity with respect to a single airgap machine, a mechanical analysis of the inner and outer rotors has been conducted to assess the robustness of the inner and outer rotors iron ribs.}, conference = {23rd International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM 2018)}, doi = {10.1109/ICELMACH.2018.8506898}, isbn = {9781538624784}, pages = {2144 - 2149}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1567634}, keyword = {Synchronous reluctance machines, Double rotor machine, Structural analysis, Double airgap machines}, year = {2018}, author = {Al-Ani, M. and Mahmoud, H. and Degano, M. and Gerada, C.} }
