Abstract: Precise temperature prediction in the thermal analysis of electrical machines relies heavily on highly accurate slot modeling. To achieve this level of detail, the computational model must meticulously mirror the physical reality of the motor by representing the windings on a wire-by-wire basis. Furthermore, every layer of insulative material within the slots must be…
Abstract: This course covers the thermal analysis and design of an axial-flux electric machine of your choice using a powerful dual-method approach. The study begins with the development of an analytical model, namely a Lumped Parameter Thermal Network (LPTN), which is then implemented in MATLAB. Subsequently, the LPTN results are validated against numerical simulations, including…
The electrification of aerospace and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems has fundamentally shifted the operational demands placed on electric motors, making reliability a strict necessity rather than a mere asset. In these high-stakes environments, an unexpected motor failure can lead to catastrophic system loss, driving an urgent need for fault-tolerant propulsion architectures that can sustain…

In this course, we analyze two synchronous reluctance motor case studies and derive their complete performance characteristics using finite element analysis in EMDLAB. The first benchmark is a pure synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM), and the second is a permanent-magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMa-SynRM).

In this course, we learn how to perform finite element analysis of two benchmark switched reluctance motors using EMDLAB within the MATLAB environment. The first benchmark is an inner-rotor SRM, and the second is an outer-rotor SRM. The main objective is to compute a complete set of motor performance characteristics, including static torque curves, flux…
