Chapter 1 Introduction
In Fig.1.5, it is shown that, due to assembling difficulties, this principle is not easy to apply in any
type of electric machines. Among the existing electrical machines, the SRM with its simple
configuration was selected as demonstration machine. A 3 phase 6/4 SRM, having output power of
0.55 [KW] was preferred for prototyping because of the experience gained over time at Aalborg
University with SRM in this power range.
1.7 Outline of the thesis
The thesis is prepared in two main parts as shown in Fig1.9. The first part is dedicated to the
analysis and development of the Shark structure while the second part is focused on comparison
criteria, performance indicators and manufacturing considerations.

Chapter 1, Introduction provides the background and terminology of the thesis. The working
principle and the applications of the SRM, chosen as demonstration machine are discussed here.
The chapter contains the motivation of the study, defines the objectives of this work and present the
overview of this report.
Chapter 2, Theoretical approach of the Shark concept introduces the Shark SRM principle. A
simplified linear approach leads to a preliminary assessment of the performances of the Shark
concept.
