Study on application of two different magnetic materials in rotor of cylindrical synchronous generator to produce reluctance torque

This paper presents a study on the new design of cylindrical solid rotor synchronous generator. in this new design,rotor of the machine is designed in such a way that the required inductance values are reached to produce reluctance torque,besides electromagnetic torque due to field excitation. in this contribution,a combination of two different ferromagnetic materials is considered in the design of the rotor. in this theory,the tight connection between the different materials is very important from a mechanical point of view. in other words,this new idea and production principal has potential in some areas after some further research and engineering. but this paper is focused on magnetic flux-carrying materials and presents a study of the new design of cylindrical solid rotor synchronous generator (ncg). then a comparative analysis was made between this new (ncg) and conventional cylindrical solid rotor synchronous generator (ccg) and the effectiveness of the new cylindrical solid rotor from a magnetic point of view is demonstrated. in this paper,mechanical and thermal aspects of design such as vibration did not analyze. © 2015,iran university of science and technology. all rights reserved.
