Various design approaches have been studied for performance improvement of permanent magnet motors, especially for electric vehicles application. This paper deals with an effective concept that is based on adopting non-traditional geometries for permanent magnet poles. The study focuses on a general methodology for optimal sizing of the rotor poles’ pre-defined geometrical parameters considering certain objectives. For this purpose, the artificial neural network is employed for creating an accurate and simple model to be used in a multi-objective optimization procedure. An interior crescent-shaped permanent magnet motor for an electric motorcycle is studied as a typical case study to prove the performance of the proposed method. Finite element models are developed to create the required dataset for the modeling stage as well as to verify the results.

This paper describes a design optimization to achieve optimal performance of a two novel single-phase short-stroke tubular linear permanent magnet motors (TLPMMs) with rectangular and trapezoidal permanent magnets (PMs) structures. The motors equipped with a quasi-Halbach magnetized moving-magnet armature and slotted stator with a single-slot carrying a single coil. The motors have been developed for reciprocating compressor applications such as household refrigerators. It is observed that the TLPMM efficiency can be optimized with respect to the leading design parameters (dimensional ratios). Furthermore, the influence of mover back iron is investigated and the loss of the motor is computed. Finite element analysis (FEA) is employed for the optimization, and the optimal values of the ratio of the axial length of the radially magnetized magnets to the pole pitch as well as the ratio of the PMs outer radius-to-stator outer radius (split ratio), are identified.

Cogging torque is one of the most important parameters of permanent magnet motors, which causes torque ripple, vibration and noise. This paper describes the mechanism of cogging torque, introduces several methods of reducing cogging torque and points out the advantage of novel magnet arrayed permanent magnet motor in reducing cogging torque. Ansoft software is used to build the simulation of conventional surface-type permanent magnet motor and novel magnet arrayed permanent magnet motor and to calculate their cogging torque. a cogging torque testing system which included the angle sensor, permanent magnet motor, torque wrenches and other components are tested two different structures motors’ cogging torque .The experimental result is consistent with the simulation results, it shows that the method of novel magnet arrayed permanent magnet motor reducing cogging torque is correct. The new method compare with the same specification on the surface of permanent magnet motor can reduce more cogging torque.

Electromagnetic vibration is produced by radical exciting force waves acting on iron cores of permanent magnet motors. In order to reduce radial electromagnetic force, a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor was analyzed. According to the electromagnetic force wave of analytical formula in the case of no-load, the main force wave order and force wave frequency were analyzed. Properly selecting the pole arc coefficient could reduce the amplitude of electromagnetic force. By finite element analysis, the results show that reduce the sinusoidal distortion rate of the flux density, electromagnetic vibration of the motor can be reduced to some extent, but not the best choice.

This paper presents a comparison of 30/8 and 12/8 AC permanent magnet motors with distributed (DW) and concentrated winding (CW) designed for electric vehicle traction. Both prototypes are based on an interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor topology and contain V-shape magnets. The radial flux AC IPM motors were designed for an 80 kW propulsion system to achieve 125 N·m. Finite element models (FEM) used to design the geometry of IPM motors and the required useful parameters of electric motors are widely investigated. The accuracy of finite element models is verified and validated on the basis of test data. Numerical simulations of healthy and faulty operation states, and studies of winding faults based on the FEM offer a deeper understanding of the associated phenomena. Therefore, in this paper, a short-circuit fault in a stator winding was simulated to investigate the transient currents under an external load collapse, for all winding phases. These simulations were used to define other important machine parameters to improve mechanical reliability of the motors and to assess the potential risk of permanent magnet (PM) demagnetization. Furthermore, the analysis of local magnetic forces affecting the PMs in the rotor and their possible displacement in a short-circuit situation were performed, also taking into account the centrifugal force. Lastly, it is demonstrated that the choice of winding configuration has a significant impact on the uncontrolled displacement of magnets in the rotor.

<p><span lang="EN-US">Interior permanent magnet motors (IPMMs) have been increasing in popularity, since the emergence of permanent magnet material with high energy products, i.e. rare earth permanent magnet material. This paper analyses the performances of IPMMs having different rotor iron pole shapes including eccentric, sinusoidal and sinusoidal with 3th order harmonic injected rotor pole arc shapes IPMMs. Cogging torque, static torque, torque ripple, torque-speed and power-speed curves of the mentioned motors have been compared. It must be noted that the mentioned motors have been designed with the same stator, PM shape and the same dimensions, in order to highlight the effect of the rotor pole arc shape on the performance of the such motors. Two-dimensional (2D) finite element analysis (FEA) has been utilized to design and analyze the mentioned machines. It has been found that rotor iron pole shape of the IPM has notably influence on the machine performance, practically on output electromagnetic torque and its ripple. The highest value of average electromagnetic torque as well as torque capability in the constant torque reign is delivered by 3th order harmonic injected rotor pole arc shapes machine, while the lowest torque ripple is obtained by the sinusoidal rotor pole arc machine.</span></p>
