Cogging Torque Minimization of Surface-Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines Using Hybrid Magnet Shapes

This paper deals with the magnet pole shape design for the minimization of cogging torque in permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM). New shapes of permanent magnet are proposed. The magnet shape is modeled analytically by a set of stacked and well dimensioned layers relatively to the height and opening angle. The final shape of magnet is configured by using three models in view of obtaini...

Optimization of Current Excitation for Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motors

The main problem in improving the tracking performance of permanent magnet linear synchronous motors is the presence of force ripple caused by mismatched current excitation. This paper presents a method to optimize the current excitation of the motors in order to generate smooth force. The optimized phase current waveforms produce minimal ohmic losses and maximize motor efficiency. The current ...

A Torque Error Compensation Algorithm for Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines with Respect to Magnet Temperature Variations

This paper presents a torque error compensation algorithm for a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine (SPMSM) through real time permanent magnet (PM) flux linkage estimation at various temperature conditions from medium to rated speed. As known, the PM flux linkage in SPMSMs varies with the thermal conditions. Since a maximum torque per ampere look up table, a control method used...

Field Diffusion Equation in High-speed Surface-mounted Permanent Magnet Motors, Parasitic Eddy-current Losses

The authors present a general computation of the time-varying magnetic flux density distribution of high-speed surface mounted permanent magnet (PM) motors (SMPMM). It deals with an analytical model (AM) which is based on a two-dimensional (2-D) analysis in polar co-ordinates and solves the governing Helmholtz/Laplace field equation in the airgap/magnet/rotor yoke regions, with due account of t...
