Abstract
In attempt to improve the performance of
synchronous reluctance machine the structure of the machine is
modified to include an additional winding on the stator and
injection of capacitance. This paper examines the dynamic and
steady state behaviour of the modified machine based on its
mathematical model and experiments performed on a practical
prototype. The experimental results corroborate the solutions of
the mathematical model as obtained through simulation. The
modified machine shows significant improvement in
performance over the conventional one.
