Despite many advantages of BrushLess DC motor, torque pulsation is one of the most important disadvantages of it. At first, an optimum primary design of BLDC motor is done using PSO algorithm. Then, other parameters for reducing the torque pulsation are considered by finite element method. It is shown that fractional slot structure has many advantages than conventional one. Both cogging and rip...

his paper investigates the influence of the rotor structure, more specifically, the influence of the open angle between the two magnet’s segments of each V-shape pole on the general characteristics of the machine keeping always the same magnets volume. In fact the investigation is done by using a free Finite Elements Methods (FEM) program coupled with another optimization program. This obtained...

Brushless permanent magnet surface inset machines are interested in industrial applications due to their high efficiency and power density. Magnet segmentation is a common technique in order to mitigate cogging torque and electromagnetic torque components in these machines. An accurate computation of magnetic vector potential is necessary in order to compute cogging torque, electromagnetic torq...

Control methods for pulsation of torque reduction for the surface-mounted permanent magnet motors are discussed in the paper. The pulsation torque is a consequence of the non-sinusoidal flux distribution and due to interaction of the rotor’s permanent magnets with the changing stator reluctance. Proposed control method is estimator based. To assure parameter convergence Lyapunov’s direct method...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive analytical model for dual rotor radial flux wind generators based on the equivalent magnetic circuit method. This model is developed to predict the flux densities of the inner and outer air gaps, flux densities of the rotor and stator yokes, back electromotive force (EMF), electromagnetic torque, cogging torque, and some other characteristics import...

An electric commutated frog-leg winding permanent-magnet (PM) DC machine is proposed in this paper. It has a semi-closed slotted stator with a classical type of mesh winding introduced from the conventional brushed DC machine and a polyphase electric commutation besides a PM excitation rotor and a circular arrayed Hall position sensor. Under the cooperation between the position sensor and the e...

This paper describes the development of a permanent magnet generator for small scale wind turbines. The generator has been designed for ease of manufacture so that it can be made by small mechanical engineering companies with limited electrical engineering knowledge. The generator has also been designed to have no cogging torque so that it can be used with all horizontal and vertical axis turbi...

In this paper, a hexagonal magnet shape is proposed to have an arc profile capable of reducing torque ripples resulting from cogging in single-sided axial flux permanent (AFPM) machine. The arc-shaped increases the air-gap length effectively and makes more sinusoidal, which decreases density hence causes reduction torque. Cogging basic source vibration, along with noise PM machines, since it ma...

Recently, Inner Permanent Magnet (IPM) Synchronous Motors are known as a good candidate for hybrid electric vehicle traction drive application due to their unique merits like little volume, light weight, high efficiency and power factor and high reliability. However, behavior of this motors is quite depending on airgap length. This paper discusses the effect of airgap variation on d-q equivalen...
