Abstract:
|
The design of electric machines is a hot topic in the syllabuses of several undergraduate and
graduate courses. With the development of hybrid and electrical vehicles, this subject is gaining
more popularity, especially in electrical engineering courses. This paper presents a computeraided
educational tool to guide engineering students in the design process of a switched
reluctance machine (SRM). A step-by-step design procedure is detailed and a user guide
interface (GUI) programmed in the Matlab® environment developed for this purpose is shown.
This GUI has been proved a useful tool to help the students to validate the results obtained in
their lecture assignments, while aiding to achieve a better understanding of the design process of
electric machines. A validation of the educational tool is done by means of finite element
method (FEM) simulations. |
