This study analyzed the rotor shapes of IPM motors for electric vehicles. Five types of motor rotors for automobiles were analyzed, including two hybrid vehicles. In order to minimize the number of variables in the analysis, the size of the motor stators was fixed and only the rotor shapes were modified to compare torque, torque ripple, efficiency and back-electromotive voltage. When the motor properties were compared as a function of rotor shape, the rotor shape with the smallest magnet volume exhibited excellent results for torque, efficiency and torque ripple.

Introduction Various regulations in the car industry are being introduced to respond to environmental changes caused by global warming [1]; for example, electrically powered powertrains have been developed to reduce exhausted gas and improve the power efficiency of vehicles. As a result, the demand for electrical vehicles, which are recognized as environmentally friendly, continues to surge [2]. Electric traction motors, which represent the most essential of technologies among this changeover, are needed owing to their wide velocity, high power density, and high efficiency [3–5]. With advances in electrical machines and recent control technologies, AC machines have become mainstream (as opposed to DC machines) and now dominated the traction machine market. Both synchronous and asynchronous AC machines are used in commercially available electric-powered vehicles. Induction machines contain the most mature manufacturing technologies, those that that have been developed over a number of decades [5,6]. Induction machine technologies are also relatively lower in cost and offer easier control. However, the conductors of the rotor increase the rotor copper losses and also the cooling requirement. The conductor usually applies to a lower operating efficiency as compared with permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM); therefore, the majority of automotive manufacturers are choosing appropriate PMSM for the traction motor in the vehicle [7]. Among the electric traction motors, interior permanent magnet (IPM) motors, which include rotors with embedded magnets, are increasingly being used as the driving motors for electric vehicles. The advantages of an IPM motor include its wide velocity and torque variation, high power, light weight, and energy efficiency. The most influential factor affecting the performance of IPM motors is Energies 2018, 11, 2601; doi:10.3390/en11102601 www.mdpi.com/journal/energies Energies 2018, 11, x 2 of 12 Energies 2018, 11, 2601 2 of 12 power, light weight, and energy efficiency.

With developing the motor modeling by involving temperature equations in the previous computer code, we first study variations of the coils and rings temperatures and the effect of the temperature on the rotor force. In the next section, the effect of the rotor length on the rotor force is studied and it is shown that there is an almost linear relation between the rotor length and the rotor force. Finally we have given the optimum time step for solving the state equations of the motor and calculating the force. By this time step the code will have reasonable speed and accuracy. These studies can be useful for the force motors and for finding a view for dynamic state analysis of the acceleration motors.

    Understanding Permanent Magnet Motor Operation and Optimized Filter Solutions

    Understanding Permanent Magnet Motor Operation and Optimized Filter Solutions June 15, 2016 Todd Shudarek, Principal Engineer MTE Corporation N83 W13330 Leon Road Menomonee Falls WI 53154 www.mtecorp.com Abstract Recent trends indicate the use of permanent magnet (PM) motors because of its energy savings over induction motors. PM motors offer energy savings, higher power densities, and improved control. The upfront cost of a PM motor may be higher than an induction motor, but the total cost of ownership may be lower. However, a PM motor system brings design challenges in terms of selecting the best variable frequency drive (VFD) as well as a filter to protect the motor. A PM motor requires the use of a VFD to start and operate. The best VFDs will need to operate at higher switching frequencies to meet the higher fundamental frequencies of the PM motors. In turn, the PM motor will need to be protected from power distortion, harmonics, and overheating. While a traditional filter is de-rated to meet the higher frequencies, this paper will demonstrate that, by nature of the operation of a PM motor, an appropriately design filter that operates for higher switching and fundamental frequencies will reduce the size, weight, and cost of the system. Introduction special considerations when specifying a filter for a PM motor system, specifically the use of Historically induction motors have been used in higher switching frequencies and filters. a variety of industrial applications. Recent trends indicate a shift toward permanent magnet (PM) motors which offer up to 20% energy savings, Induction Motor Operation higher power densities, and improved control.

    Axial Field Permanent Magnet Machines with High Overload Capability for Transient Actuation Applications

    THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD Axial field permanent magnet machines with high overload capability for transient actuation applications By Jiangnan Gong A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering The University of Sheffield. JANUARY 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis describes the design, construction and testing of an axial field permanent magnet machine for an aero-engine variable guide vane actuation system. The electrical machine is used in combination with a leadscrew unit that results in a minimum torque specification of 50Nm up to a maximum speed of 500rpm. The combination of the geometry of the space envelope available and the modest maximum speed lends itself to the consideration of an axial field permanent magnet machines. The relative merits of three topologies of double-sided permanent magnet axial field machines are discussed, viz. a slotless toroidal wound machine, a slotted toroidal machine and a yokeless axial field machine with separate tooth modules. Representative designs are established and analysed with three-dimensional finite element method, each of these 3 topologies are established on the basis of a transient winding current density of 30A/mm2. Having established three designs and compared their performance at the rated 50Nm point, further overload capability is compared in which the merits of the slotless machine is illustrated. Specifically, this type of axial field machine retains a linear torque versus current characteristic up to higher torques than the other two topologies, which are increasingly affected by magnetic saturation. Having selected a slotless machine as the preferred design, further design optimization was performed, including detailed assessment of transient performance.

A permanent magnetic linear oscillating synchronous motor (PMLOSM) provides reciprocating motion which can drive a piston pump directly having advantages of high frequency, high reliability, and easy commercial manufacture. Hence, researching the tracking perfor- mance of PMLOSM is of great importance to realizing its popularization and application. Traditional PI control cannot fulfill the requirement of high tracking precision, and PMLOSM performance has high phase lag because of high control stiffness. In this paper, an advancing motivation feedforward control (AMFC), which is a combination of advancing motivation signal and PI control signal, is proposed to obtain high tracking precision of PMLOSM. The PMLOSM inserted with AMFC can provide accurate trajectory tracking at a high frequency. Compared with single PI control, AMFC can reduce the phase lag from −18 to −2.7 degrees, which shows great promotion of the tracking Citation: Jiao, Z.; Cao, Y.; Yan, L.; Li, precision of PMLOSM.
