    Air Gap Length and Maximum and Minimum Inductance of A Double-Salient Reluctance Machine (DSRM) using The Developed Analytical Algorithm
    (International Journal on Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2022-03-12) Enesi Asizehi Yahaya; Ajah Victor; Emenike Chinedozi Ejiogu
    In this paper an algorithm is developed to predict the maximum and minimum inductance of an optimized pole arc of a fabricated double salient reluctance machine (DSRM). The developed analytical algorithm investigates the air gap length at the maximum and minimum inductances. These are achieved through the machine rotor pole arc, stator pole arc, bore diameter, back iron thickness, rotor yoke thickness, stack length, and rotor pole diameter. The validity of the newly developed analytical procedures for predicting the maximum and minimum inductances was evaluated using the measurements obtained from the machine prototype. There was a good correlation between the analytical and experimental results. Inductances and air gap lengths of 2/2 DSRM of equal stator and rotor pole width and stator pole width greater than the rotor pole width were investigated and analyzed using the developed algorithm. A second existing DSRM with different numbers of stator and rotor poles whose inductances have been known and compared with finite element analysis (FEA) is chosen to verify the algorithm developed. The 2/2 DSRM’s potential to sustain oscillation during energy conversion from mechanical energy to electrical energy is investigated

    Development of stability charts for double salience reluctance machine modeled using hill’s equation
    (Bulletin of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2024-06-10) Enesi Asizehi Yahaya; Emenike Chinedozi Ejiogu
    The paper presents a novel algorithm for the development of stability charts. The second-order differential homogeneous equation describing a double salient reluctance machine with a capacitance connected to its stator winding is transformed into hill’s equation. The circuit components are the stator coil time-varying inductance of a double salient reluctance machine, capacitance and resistance. All these are modeled by hill’s equation. The double salient reluctance machine acts as an energy conversion system. The maximum and minimum inductance of the energy conversion system is measured in laboratory by inductance, capacitance, and resistance (LCR) meter. These values help to determine the inductance modulation index. The inductance modulation indetx, the characteristic constant and the characteristic parameter obtained from modeling equations are used in the MATLAB/Simulink model. The MATLAB/Simulink simulations generate stable and unstable oscillations to form stability charts. The proposed stability charts are in good agreement with the Ince-Stritt stability chart, which is widely applied in physics, mechanics and in electrical engineering, especially where the state of stability of a system or an electric oscillatory circuit is to be determined
