Abstract

In this article, comprehensive analytical equations are developed to compute time-varying inductances of salient pole machines with any eccentricity type and degree in a unified technique. For this purpose, the inverse air-gap function of the eccentric salient pole machine has been defined, and its indefinite integral has then been determined. The derived analytical expressions, unlike the previous proposals, take into account all the harmonics of the inverse of the air-gap function without any development in Fourier series. The presented method eliminates the need for inexact analytical equations, numerical differentiations, and huge lookup tables, which are common in the modified winding function approach. Theoretical fundamentals and experimental results that validate the proposed technique are presented.
