The work presented in this paper concerns the study of the thermal behavior due to copper losses and iron losses of a switched reluctance machine with double salience (SRM6/4) by analytical coupling - 2D finite elements. Calculation by analytical methods of the conduction coefficients in the radial and axial direction as well as the convection coefficients in the air gap of this machine are presented. The values of these found coefficients are used to solve the transient thermal problem for this device using the ADEMEF2D software. The obtained results show a very large increase in temperature at the winding. Heat conduction in both radial and axial directions has a very large effect on the temperature value in all regions of the SRM6/4.

The switched reluctance machine (SRM) design is different from the design of most of other machines. SRM has many design parameters that have non-linear relationships with the performance indices (i.e., average torque, efficiency, and so forth). Hence, it is difficult to design SRM using straight forward equations with iterative methods, which is common for other machines. Optimization techniques are used to overcome this challenge by searching for the best variables values within the search area. In this paper, the optimization of SRM design is achieved using multi-objective Jaya algorithm (MO-Jaya). In the Jaya algorithm, solutions are moved closer to the best solution and away from the worst solution. Hence, a good intensification of the search process is achieved. Moreover, the randomly changed parameters achieve good search diversity. In this paper, it is suggested to also randomly change best and worst solutions. Hence, better diversity is achieved, as indicated from results. The optimization with the MO-Jaya algorithm was made for 8/6 and 6/4 SRM. Objectives used are the average torque, efficiency, and iron weight. The results of MO-Jaya are compared with the results of the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) for the same conditions and constraints. The optimization program is made in Lua programming language and executed by FEMM4.2 software. The results show the success of the approach to achieve better objective values, a broad search, and to introduce a variety of optimal solutions.
