  • Patent number: 12438421
    Abstract: Described is a method for optimizing a synchronous reluctance motor assisted by magnets (1), comprising the arrangement of a stator (2) provided with a number (t) of slots (3), the arrangement of a rotor (4) having an outer cylindrical surface (S.sub.e) of radius (r.sub.e), an inner cylindrical surface (S.sub.I) of radius (r.sub.I), a rotation axis (A) and a number (p) of pole pairs, realisation in the rotor (4) of a number (n) of slots (7) defining flow barriers (Bn) with axial extension for each pole of the motor (1), designed to house magnets (6) and definition of each barrier (B.sub.n) with peripheral profile in the form of a circular segment with convexity facing towards the axis (A) and with concentric radii of curvature (r.sub.nA, r.sub.nB) with common centre (C) arranged along a radial axis (X). The number (n) of barriers (B.sub.n) is greater than or equal to 3.

  • Publication number: 20210288599
    Abstract: An off-grid system for generating electrical energy for feeding an external load includes at least one electric generator operatively connected to a driven shaft of an external driving power source and further connected to an isolated load by an electrical circuit, a control unit connected to the electrical circuit to detect the output voltage produced by the generator, and a fluxation regulation system connected to the electrical circuit to control the fluxation and stabilize the voltage produced by the generator. The control unit is connected to the fluxation regulation system to control the activation thereof and the generator is of the reluctance synchronous type and includes a squirrel cage structure. A method for controlling the fluxation of electrical energy by the electrical energy generation system.

  • Publication number: 20180175769
    Abstract: An electric drive unit for driving devices connectable therewith includes at least one permanent magnets assisted reluctance motor and switching elements operatively associated to the at least one reluctance synchronous motor and designed to switch the connection of the stator windings between a first operating configuration and a second operating configuration, and vice versa, for variable torque and power delivery as a function of the rotation speed of the at least one reluctance synchronous motor.
