The aim of this repository is to share the code of the reluctance network model presented in the Energies journal article: Open Circuit Performance of Axial Air Gap Flux Switching Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine for Wind Energy Conversion: Modeling and Experimental Study.
Files description:
main: The main project file, run it to generate the results needed.
move-rotor: Complementary to main and can't be run alone.
swap_matrix_x_720: Complementary script that manipulates the reluctance values accroding to the new rotor position. Without it the move-rotor script is useless.
CoggingForceCalculationMeanRadius: Calculate the electromagnetic torque through a numerical approximation based on Maxwell's stress tensor. The user is free to use whatever method he wants.
Because the project may take some time to run for a large number of iterations, the previously generated .mat files are results ready for viewing and post processing.
