For high-speed permanent magnet (PM) electrical machine, the PM material has very small tensile stress, and it can’t withstand the huge centrifugal force. So, a high-strength sleeve with interference fit is necessary to protect the PM. This paper mainly analyzes the strength of rotor sleeve and PM. It deduces the theoretical calculation method of the strength according to Lame equation, and it also analyzes the stress of sleeve and PM by ANSYS Workbench. The result show that the theoretical calculation value is closely to the ANSYS result, and it can meet the requirements of protecting the permanent magnet in high rotation speed.

Different from the design of conventional permanent magnet (PM) motors, high-speed motors are primarily limited by rotor unbalanced radial forces, rotor power losses, and rotor mechanical strength. This paper aimed to propose a suitable PM motor with consideration of these design issues. First, the rotor radial force is minimized based on the selection of stator tooth numbers and windings. By designing a stator with even slots, the rotor radial force can be canceled, leading to better rotor strength at high speed. Second, rotor power losses proportional to rotor frequency are increased as motor speed increases. A two-dimensional sensitivity analysis is used to improve these losses. In addition, the rotor sleeve loss can be minimized to less than 8.3% of the total losses using slotless windings. Third, the trapezoidal drive can cause more than a 33% magnet loss due to additional armature flux harmonics. This drive reflected loss is also mitigated with slotless windings. In this paper, six PM motors with different tooth numbers, stator cores, and winding layouts are compared. All the design methods are verified based on nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA).

This work deals with generalized three-dimensional (3D) mathematical model to estimate the force and stiffness in axially, radially, and perpendicularly polarized passive magnetic bearings with “n” number of permanent magnet (PM) ring pairs. Coulombian model and vector approach are used to derive generalized equations for force and stiffness. Bearing characteristics (in three possible standard configurations) of permanent magnet bearings (PMBs) are evaluated using matlab codes. Further, results of the model are validated with finite element analysis (FEA) results for five ring pairs. Developed matlab codes are further utilized to determine only the axial force and axial stiffness in three stacked PMB configurations by varying the number of rings. Finally, the correlation between the bearing characteristics (PMB with only one and multiple ring pairs) is proposed and discussed in detail. The proposed mathematical model might be useful for the selection of suitable configuration of PMB as well as its optimization for geometrical parameters for high-speed applications.

AbstractHigh-speed surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine is often used in micro gas turbine generation system due to its high rotor strength and high efficiency. The electrical machine in this kind of generation system needs to integrate two functions of starter and generator. Therefore, its comprehensive performance, including starting performance and generating performance, has become a comprehensive standard to measure machine performance. In this paper, a 40 kW, 20,000 r/min high-speed machine is taken as an example, the influence of magnets magnetization direction on the machine comprehensive performance is studied. The machine models with different magnets magnetization directions are established by using finite element method and the correctness of the models is verified by comparing the experimental data with the finite element calculation data. On this basis, the influence of different magnetization directions on the performance of the machine, such as generation loss, torque ripple, output voltage, start-up time and maximum starting ability, is analyzed. Furthermore, based on the Fourier decomposition of air gap flux density and the decoupling analysis of starting torque, the influence mechanism of magnetization direction on the performance of the machine is revealed. The presented results provide a reference for the selection of a suitable magnetization direction for high-speed surface-mounted permanent magnet machines.

- In conventional power system, synchronous generator which characterized by high-speed operating condition has been widely implemented. However, those high-speed synchronous machines are not suitable for a power plant powered by renewable energy (RE) due to uncertain feature of renewable resources. To overcome this problem, an electrical machine with low-speed characteristic is required for ensuring stable operation and maintaining output power of the RE based distribution generation (DG) unit. In this paper, a low-speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (LS-PMSG) is designed and implemented. To realize low-speed operation capability, the multi-stages permanent magnet synhcronous machine is proposed. The multi-stages machine equipped with two stators and three rotors construction. From the experimental results, it was monitored that output voltage of single rotor of the designed machine was 35 V. Moreover, to increase the output voltage to 50 V, those three rotors can be connected in series.

In this study, we propose a non-contact 80 kW, 60,000 rpm coaxial magnetic gear (CMG) model for high speed and high power applications. Two models with the same power but different radial and axial sizes were optimized using response surface methodology. Both models employed a Halbach array to increase torque. Also, an edge fillet was applied to the radial magnetized permanent magnet to reduce torque ripple, and an axial gap was applied to the permanent magnet with a radial gap to reduce eddy current loss. The models were analyzed using 2-D and 3-D finite element analysis. The torque, torque ripple and eddy current loss were compared in both models according to the materials used, including Sm2Co17, NdFeBs (N42SH, N48SH). Also, the structural stability of the pole piece structure was investigated by forced vibration analysis. Critical speed results from rotordynamics analysis are also presented.
