Modeling and Design Optimization of Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor with Halbach Array

In this paper, an analytical analysis is presented to calculate air gap flux density distribution, thrust and efficiency in air-core permanent magnet linear synchronous motor with Halbach array based on Maxwell equations. In order to improve mean thrust, thrust ripple, magnet and copper consumption, the main design parameters of analyzed machine are optimized by using genetic algorithm in an ap...

Thrust Ripple Reduction of Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor Based on Improved Pole Shape for Electromagnetic Launcher System

In this paper, a new design of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) for electromagnetic launcher system (EMLs) has been investigated in terms of the requisite amount of average launching thrust force and thrust force ripple minimization through finite element method. EMLs are a kind of technology used to develop thrust force and launch heavy loads with different applications includ...

Position/speed Sensorless Control for Permanent-magnet Synchronous Machines

Maximum Efficiency per Torque Control of Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Machines

Abstract: High-efficiency permanent-magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drive systems need not only optimally designed motors but also efficiency-oriented control strategies. However, the existing control strategies only focus on partial loss optimization. This paper proposes a novel analytic loss model of PMSM in either sine-wave pulse-width modulation (SPWM) or space vector pulse width modulati...
