Abstract

A new approach was studied in this paper to calculate minimum permeance (Pmin) of variable reluctance machines (VRM). Finite element method (FEM) and neural network (NN) were employed together for estimation. The data collected by an electromagnetic finite element software (Flux 2D) were used to train NN. Trained NN was tested by another data set which are not in the training data set. Total estimation error in the test set was observed less than 2.5%. A similar study was performed with the data set collected using flux tube analysis (FTA). In this case, much larger data set was constructed by FTA since this method allows to generate larger data set. After training NN by this data set, it was tested by a test set generated by FTA. The total estimation error was observed less than 5%.
