End barrier shape optimizations and sensitivity analysis of synchrnous reluctance machines (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Galea, M., Di Nardo, M., Gerada, C., Palmieri, M., Gerada, D., Cupertino, F., Degano, M., & Bianchi, N. (2015, November). End barrier shape optimizations and sensitivity analysis of synchrnous reluctance machines. Presented at End barrier shape optimizations and sensitivity analysis of synchrnous reluctance machines, Yokohama, Japan

This paper presents an extensive study on the electromagnetic and structural influences of the end barrier shape of a Synchronous Reluctance Machine (SynRel). One of the most challenging tasks in designing these machines is to achieve a smooth torque...

Design considerations for the tooth shoe shape for high-speed permanent magnet generators (2015)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., Zhang, X., Gerada, C., Galea, M., Gerada, D., & Li, J. (2015). Design considerations for the tooth shoe shape for high-speed permanent magnet generators. IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, 51(11), Article 8112904. https://doi.org/10.1109/TMAG.2015.2448096

This paper presents a study of the effects that the shoe shape of the teeth of electrical machines has on the performance and losses. This is done by considering a concentrated wound, high-speed permanent magnet generator. The paper investigates the...
