Abstract

Linear synchronous reluctance motors (LSRELMs) are becoming an attractive alternative for linear induction motors (LIMs), linear synchronous motors (LSMs), and linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs). This paper reviews the scientific status, development, and future scope of the LSRELMs. These include analysis techniques, design prospects, control aspects, optimization techniques, and parameter identifications.
