Abstract: In this paper, a novel analytical magnetic circuit network model is proposed to simulate saliency effect with high magnetic saturation for electrical machines. Such a network is featured by dividing magnetic paths according to airgap flux distribution characteristics. Magnetic saturation on salient poles is modeled with discretized and in size adaptable reluctance elements. The method uses basic magnetic circuit principles without empirical estimation. The method can be applied without power or speed limit to various machine geometries featured by prominent saliency structure.
Keywords: Switched reluctance machine, double saliency structure, magnetic equivalent circuit, magnetic saturation, flux linkage
