The rotor eddy current losses of a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor reduce the efficiency of the motor and increase the temperature rise of the rotor. In severe cases, the permanent magnet of the rotor can be demagnetized, affecting the safe operation of the motor. In this paper, an analytical model of rotor eddy current losses calculation based on Maxwell equations is introduced. ...

Effect of rotor iron pole radii and skew on performance of interior permanent magnet motors is studied in this paper. A comparison is carried out by finite element analysis method and is confirmed by the experimental results obtained with two laboratory prototypes. The results show that, although the skew method is very effective in suppressing the cogging torque of an interior permanent magnet...

This paper presents a hybrid fuzzy logic proportional plus conventional integral-derivative controller (FP+ID) for the speed control of permanent magnet brushless dc (PMBLDC) motor. Though, PID controllers are commonly used in practice, they have failed to perform satisfactory under nonlinearity, load disturbances, parameter variation etc. In this paper, the performance of the permanent magnet ...

In this paper, the steady-state temperature of a sample 500 KW two rotor one stator Non-slotted axial flux permanent magnet motor is calculated using the finite element simulator software package. Due to the high temperature in various parts of the machine, especially at stator winding, a cooling system is designed for the motor and the temperature is recalculated. The results show that the tem...

In the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), force ripple is harmful, useless and disturbing. The force ripple is basically composed of two components: detent force and mutual force ripple. This force is influenced by the geometric parameters of the permanent magnet (PM) motors; such as width, thickness and length of the magnet poles, length and thickness of the rotor and stato...

The Brushless DC (BLDC) motor is a simple robust machine which has found application over a wide power and speed of ranges in different shapes and geometry. This paper briefly reviews the fundamentals behind the motor and also the different types of BLDC motors with different geometries and then presents a new configuration for BLDC motor/generator, which does not use a permanent magnet in the ...

In this paper particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used for a design optimization of a linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (LPMSM) considering ultra low thrust force ripples, low magnet consumption, improved efficiency and thrust. The influence of PM material is discussed, too and the modular poles are proposed to achieve the best characteristic. PM dimensions and material, air gap and mo...

In this paper, a new sensorless Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) drives method with Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for speed, rotor position and load torque estimation is proposed. The Direct Torque Control (DTC) technique for PMSM is receiving increasing attention due to the important advantages of the low dependence on motor parameters when compared with other motor control t...

In Line start permanent magnet synchronous motor, eccentricity is a common fault that can make it necessary to remove the motor from the production line. However, because the motor may be inaccessible, diagnosing the fault is not easy. This paper presents an FEM that identifies different models, static eccentricity, dynamic eccentricity, and mixed eccentricity, at no load and full load. The met...
