Improved Performance

In electric motors, the use of rare-earth magnets has been increasing rapidly. A stronger magnet force of the magnet enables the motor’s higher performance, resulting in the most high-performance motors generally using rare-earth magnets. However, these magnets have two crucial disadvantages: the potential restrictions on the supply of rare-earth magnetic materials and the sharp fluctuation in price. Thus, many recent researches focus on developing high-performance electric motors and reducing the use of critical rare-earth magnets. By increasing the torque density of the motor, we can reduce the use of permanent magnets. Focusing on this point, and we presented a double half permanent magnet (DHPM)-type vernier motor. This paper proposed a new saddle coil permanent magnet vernier motor with improved performance compared to its predecessor. The main feature of the proposed motor is that the permanent magnet and coil in the stator of a DHPM-type vernier motor is replaced by salient poles and saddle coils, respectively. We also investigate its characteristics through various simulations.

Rotor Structure

The traditional bearingless synchronous reluctance motor (BSynRM) with salient pole rotor has some drawbacks such as high suspension force ripple, low torque density and low power factor. To overcome the above shortcomings, the permanent-magnet-assisted bearingless synchronous reluctance motor (PMa-BSynRM) is proposed. In this paper, two types of PMa-BSynRM rotors with the same number of permanent magnets but different magnetic barrier structures are designed. A traditional BSynRM with a salient pole rotor is introduced, and the electromagnetic and vibration characteristics of the three BSynRM are analyzed and compared. Firstly, the rotor structures of the two PMa-BSynRMs are designed, and the operation principle of the BSynRM is introduced. Secondly, electromagnetic characteristics of the three motors are analyzed and compared in detail using FEA software. Thirdly, the vibration analysis of the three motors is carried out. Finally, the experimental prototype platforms are built. The FEA and experimental results verify that the designed PMa-BSynRM can improve the power factor and torque density of traditional BSynRMs, and the most superior BSynRM among the three is identified.

In this paper, a novel dual-stator permanent magnet machine (DsPmSynM) with low cost and high torque density is designed. The winding part of the DsPmSynM adopts phase-group concentrated-coil windings, and the permanent magnets are arranged by spoke-type. Firstly, the winding structure reduces the amount of copper at the end of the winding. Secondly, the electromagnetic torque ripple of DsPmSynM is suppressed by reducing the cogging torque. Furthermore, the dynamic performance of DsPmSynM is studied. Finally, the experimental results are compared with the simulation results.

Electric machines with high torque density are needed in many applications, such as electric vehicles, electric robotics, electric ships, electric aircraft, etc. and they can avoid planetary gears thus reducing manufacturing costs. This paper presents a novel axial-radial flux permanent magnet (ARFPM) machine with high torque density. The proposed ARFPM machine integrates both axial-flux and radial-flux machine topologies in a compact space, which effectively improves the copper utilization of the machine. First, the radial rotor can balance the large axial forces on axial rotors and prevent them from deforming due to the forces. On the other hand, the machine adopts Halbach-array permanent magnets (PMs) on the rotors to suppress air-gap flux density harmonics. Also, the Halbach-array PMs can reduce the total attracted force on axial rotors. The operational principle of the ARFPM machine was investigated and analyzed. Then, 3D finite-element analysis (FEA) was conducted to show the merits of the ARFPM machine. Demonstration results with different parameters are compared to obtain an optimal structure. These indicated that the proposed ARFPM machine with Halbach-array PMs can achieve a more sinusoidal back electromotive force (EMF). In addition, a comparative analysis was conducted for the proposed ARFPM machine. The machine was compared with a conventional axial-flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine and a radial-flux permanent magnet (RFPM) machine based on the same dimensions. This showed that the proposed ARFPM machine had the highest torque density and relatively small torque ripple.

Flux Density Distribution

Magnetic gears are a force transmitter consisting of permanent magnets. The mechanical input can be transmitted to an output shaft without contact by magnetic forces. The magnetic gears are not worn out because there is no friction. As a result, the running costs such as the maintenance fee can be suppressed and the resources can be saved. However, the transmission torques of the conventional magnetic gears, which have so far been developed, are very low. Besides, new structure models designed for high torque density need a lot of permanent magnets and multi-pole constructions. Those structures are complex and the manufacturing is difficult. In this research, we applied a flux concentration type surface permanent magnet arrangement to a surface permanent magnet type magnetic gear in order to improve the transmission torque and to reduce the amount of permanent magnets. The magnetic flux distribution, the gap flux density and the transmission torque of the developed new models are numerically analyzed by using the two-dimensional finite element method. In this paper, a permanent magnet structure optimized to reduce its amount and influence of the flux concentration type surface permanent magnet arrangement on the gap flux density distribution and transmission torque are reported.

ABSTRACTThe high remanence and coercivity of the new permanent magnet materials are of special interest in the static applications. High ordering temperature and large uniaxial anisotropy at the origin of their good permanent magnet properties are obtained in rare earth-transition metal compounds. Binary SmCo5 and Sm2Co17 and ternary Nd2Fe14B compounds are the basis materials of the best permanent magnets. New concepts of calculations of static devices with these magnets can be applied : the magnetization can be considered as rigid, the density of the surface Amperian current is constant, the relative permeability is approximately 1 and the induction calculations are linear. Examples of hexapoles with Sm-Co and NdFeB magnets are described and the performances are compared. The problems of temperature behaviour and corrosion resistance are underlined.

A numerical study of eight configurations of magnetic systems of electric motors with permanent magnets for driving a tram was carried out. The permanent magnet electric motor can be used as a high-speed electric drive to replace the existing DC electric drive of a tram, and as a low-speed gearless electric drive of a new generation tram. The most promising configurations of magnetic systems of electric motors with permanent magnets for tram drive have been determined. By varying the geometrical and winding parameters of each of the investigated models of electric motors, the mechanical characteristics are determined, at which the given torque and power are achieved in the entire range of the rotor speed. Also, a thermal calculation was performed taking into account the urban driving cycle of high-speed electric motors with air cooling by a fan and low-speed ones in liquid cooling mode. The calculation of the characteristics of the investigated electric motors was carried out in the Simcentre MotorSolve software package. References 13, figures 8, tables 3.

Reluctance Motor

In order to improve the efficiency, a line-start synchronous reluctance motor (LS-SynRM) is studied as an alternative to an induction motor (IM). However, because of the saliency characteristic of SynRM, LS-SynRM have a limited power factor. Therefore, to improve the efficiency and power factor of electric motors, we propose a line-start permanent magnet assistance synchronous reluctance motor (LS-PMA-SynRM) with permanent magnets inserted into LS-SynRM. IM and LS-SynRM are selected as reference models, whose performances are analyzed and compared with that of LS-PMA-SynRM using a finite element analysis. The performance of LS-PMA-SynRM is analyzed considering the position and length of its permanent magnet, as well as its manufacture. The final model of LS-PMA-SynRM is designed for improving the efficiency and power factor of electric motors compared with LS-SynRM. To verify the finite element analysis (FEA) result, the final model is manufactured, experiments are conducted, and the performance of LS-PMA-SynRM is verified.
