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...

In this paper, a parameterized transient finite element model for permanent magnet (PM) dimension analysis and performance simulation of a V-shape interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) with 8 poles is developed. The relationships between induced electromotive force (EMF) and PM dimension, cogging torque and PM dimension are analyzed; the geometries of PM structure are optimized by...

This paper deals with two kinds of optimisation problems, relevant to the optimised source distribution and the shape optimum design, using Continuum Design Sensitivity Analysis (CDSA) in combination with standard electromagnetic (EM) software. Fast convergence and compatibility with existing EM software are the distinctive features of the proposed implementation. In order to verify the advanta...

In this paper, an investigation into different magnetisation topologies for a Long Stator Tubular Permanent Magnet Linear Generator (LS-PMLG) is performed through a comparison based on the cogging force disturbance, the power output and the cost of the raw materials of the machines. The results obtained from the FEA simulation are compared with an existing linear generator described in [1]. To ...

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...

<span lang="EN-US">This paper analyzes the feasibility of converting brushed direct current (BDC) to brushless (BLDC) motor by substituting wound rotor with a permanent magnet. The aim is overcome low quality rewinding rotors. conversion was performed redesigning motor, referring old stator dimensions and specifications. Some suitable speed control systems were also examined. Technical an...

Cogging torque is a critical dilemma in Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors. In medium-low power PMBLDC motors, redundant vibrations and forbidding noises arise as result of the harmonic magnetic forces created by cogging torque. This paper introduces simple approach for minimizing motors applying placement irregularities rotor magnets. An angle shift magnets surface-mounted helps to ...
