Reluctance Motor
Introduction
A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. Torque is generated through the phenomenon of magnetic reluctance.
There are various types of reluctance motor:
Synchronous reluctance
Synchronous reluctance motors have an equal number of stator and rotor poles. The projections on the rotor are arranged to introduce internal flux “barriers“, holes which direct the magnetic flux along the so-called direct axis. Typical pole numbers are 4 and 6.
As the rotor is operating at synchronous speed and there are no current-conducting parts in the rotor, rotor losses are minimal compared to those of an induction motor.
Once started at synchronous speed, the motor can operate with sinusoidal voltage. Speed control requires a variable-frequency drive.
Switched reluctance or variable reluctance motor
The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a form of stepper motor that uses fewer poles. The SRM has the lowest construction cost of any industrial electric motor because of its simple structure. Common uses for an SRM include applications where the rotor must be held stationary for long periods and in potentially environments such as mining because it does not have a mechanical commutator.
The phase windings in a SRM are electrically isolated from each other, resulting in higher fault tolerance than inverter-driven AC induction motors. The optimal drive waveform is not a pure sinusoid, due to the non-linear torque relative to rotor displacement, and the highly position-dependent inductance of the stator phase windings.
Variable reluctance stepping motor
The variable-reluctance (VR) stepper motor differs from the PM stepper in that it has no permanent-magnet rotor and no residual torque to hold the rotor at one position when turned off. When the stator coils are energized, the rotor teeth will align with the energized

    An electric motor uses the attraction and repelling properties of magnets to create motion. An electric motor contains two magnets: a permanent magnet (also called a fixed or static magnet) and a temporary magnet. The temporary magnet is a special magnet, called an electromagnet. It is created by passing…

    An Improved Control Strategy for DFIG System and Dynamic Voltage Restorer under Grid Voltage Dip Peng Cheng, Heng Nian, Member, IEEE College of Electrical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China cheng_peng@zju.edu.cn Abstract:With the increasing percentage of wind power in the utility grid, grid codes require that wind turbines must have low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability. Considering that doubly fed induction generation (DFIG) systems have the tolerance capability , to overcome the drawback of LVRT operation of DFIG system using crowbar, a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is connected to the stator side to prevent the stator voltage fast changing, and then the rotor side converter (RSC) can be in normal operation. A mathematical model of the rotor voltage of DFIG during a symmetrical voltage dip is presented to describe the allowable changing rate of the stator voltage. A new connection structure of DVR is proposed where DVR and GSC share a DC capacitor. Based on the coordinated control of the DFIG system and DVR, the active power regulation and reactive power compensation can be implemented under the grid fault.…

    How Stepper Motors Work Stepper motors consist of a permanent magnet rota ng sha , called the rotor, and electromagnets on the sta onary por on that surrounds the motor, called the stator. Figure 1 illustrates one complete rota on of a stepper motor. At posi on 1, we can see that the rotor is beginning at the upper electromagnet, which is currently ac ve (has voltage applied to it). To move the rotor clockwise (CW), the upper electromagnet is deac vated and the right electromagnet is ac vated, causing the rotor to move 90 degrees CW, aligning itself with the ac ve magnet. This process is repeated in the same manner at the south and west electromagnets un l we once again reach the star ng posi on.…
