A new squirrel-cage rotor structure induction motor (IM) that has a auxiliary permanent magnet (PM) rotor and improved cage-rotor structure is presented to enhance the inherent power factor of the IM, and a prototype motor is fabricated by modifying the rotor of a conventional three-phase four-pole squirrel-cage induction motor. The flux linkage, flux distribution, power factor, core loss and e...

this paper presents developing an analytical model for flux switching motors. the motor is a class of variable reluctance motors that has two windings on stator; a field winding and an armature winding. due to saliency of both stator and rotor poles, accurate modeling is difficult which arises from the nonlinear behavior of the machine. this paper presents a simple model which is able to predic...

Speed and torque controls of permanent magnet synchronous motors are usually attained by the application of position and speed sensors. However, speed and position sensors require the additional mounting space, reduce the reliability in harsh environments and increase the cost of a motor. Therefore, many studies have been performed for the elimination of speed and position sensors. This paper i...

In the design of the rotor of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), the bridge between the permanent magnets helps prevent the scattering of permanent magnets and pole pieces during high-speed operation. In the design of a motor, if the bridge is too thick, its performance will be largely degraded because of flux leakage. Additionally, if the bridge is too thin, its mechanical...

This paper deals with the design of high power – low dimensions axial-flux permanent-magnet motor intended for traction application. First, two motor configurations are analytically designed and compared using finite element calculation. Then, the configuration yielding the best performances is integrated and modelled with the whole traction chain under MATLAB/SIMULINK environment in order to d...

This paper presents a systematic approach of optimal design and control of a surface-mount, permanent-magnet synchronous torque motor for the next-generation machine tools. A step-by-step procedure of optimization integrates multiple performance objectives and constraints to help the designer make the best decision on the final motor geometry from both design and control perspectives. In the pe...

The paper presents a space-vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverter feeding a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The SVPWM inverter enables to feed the motor with a higher voltage with low harmonic distortions than the conventional sinusoidal PWM inverter. The control strategy of the inverter is the voltage / frequency control method, which is based on the space-vector modulation ...
