This paper deals with the optimal control of interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPM) in the integrated starter-generator (ISG) application. IPM designed for flux-weakening operations are able to realise high performances. Nevertheless, the ISG environment imposes lots of constraints which must be taken into account in an appropriate control. After a presentation of machine design, I...

This paper investigates the influence of the rotor structure on torque and flux weakening region of V-shape IPM (interior permanent magnet) machine from TOYOTA PRIUS type, more specifically, keeping always the same magnet volume, the effect of the open angle between the two magnet segments of each V-shape pole on the machine performance is studied. Moreover, in order to examine the impact of ph...

Dc excitation of the field winding in a synchronous machine can be provided by permanent magnets. Permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) can offer simpler construction, lower weight and size for the same performance, with reduced losses and higher efficiency. Thanks to the mentioned advantages these motors are widely used in different application, therefore analysis and modeling of the...

Faults in electrical machines can vary in severity and affect different parts of the machine. This study focuses on various kinds of short-circuits on the terminal side of a generic 20 kW surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous generator and how successive faults affect the performance of the machine. The study was conducted with the commercially available finite element method software CO...

in this research paper, the performance of an air-cored axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator is evaluated for low speed, direct drive applications using 3d finite element modeling and experimental tests. the structure of the considered machine consists of double rotor and coreless stator, which results in the absence of core losses, reduction of stator weight and elimination of cog...

This chapter shows the ways of optimising a medium power wind power electromechanical system, generating anything up to several tens of kilowatt electric power. The optimisation criteria are based on the cost of the electromechanical generator associated with a power electronic converter; on the power efficiency; and also on a fundamental parameter, often neglected in smaller installations, whi...

This paper introduces a method for the modeling and analysis of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM). The model is based on two dimensional Finite Element (FE) magnetic field analysis. The numerical data of FE solutions are used for obtaining the variations of the self and the mutual inductances and the flux linkages depending on the angular position rotor. In order to have a more gene...

Interior permanent magnet synchronous machines are unavoidably subject to production tolerances. Quantities like permanent magnet flux or air gap thickness of a machine may deviate with regard to their nominal parameter values. Driven with a conventional torque control strategy this leads to inaccuracy of the output torque. Especially for traction drives in road vehicles, significant torque err...

Common understanding among machine designers is that, when scaling down to smaller sizes, most performance parameters will degrade. This principle is embodied in the goodness factor presented by Laithwaite. A derivation of the goodness factor for axial flux geometry is presented, confirming that the result is the same as for radial flux geometry. The paper then discusses the factor with respect...
