Comparative study of permanent magnet synchronous machine vs salient pole synchronous machine in high temperature application

This paper presents the sizing and the comparison of two synchronous machines. The purpose is to design a high temperature dedicated machine with the same performance and volume as a permanent magnet machine. To compare the machines, torque has been chosen as a reference indicator and not the efficiency which will be not so good for the high temperature machine. A salient pole wound rotor is chosen with anodized aluminum tape as windings. Works presented should be considered as preliminary studies leading to the conception of a prototype.
