Optimal design of double stator switched reluctance machine (DSSRM)

Aerospace, automotive and other industrial drive systems require low cost, high torque/power density machines. The double stator switched reluctance machine (DSSRM) is a recently invented switched reluctance machine. It has very high torque density due to unique magnetic flux path design and machine structure. A 50 kW version of DSSRM has been designed and manufactured; this paper introduces the optimization process of the new design, based on this optimization special considerations are obtained for general design cases.
