The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has high efficiency and high torque density. Field oriented control (FOC) is usually used in the motor to achieve maximum efficiency control. In the electric vehicle (EV) application, the PMSM efficiency model, combined with the EV and road load system model, is used to study the optimal energy-saving control strategy, which is significant for the economic operation of EVs. With the help of GPS, IMU, and other information technologies, the road conditions can be measured in advance. Based on this information, the optimal velocity of the EV driven by PMSM can be obtained through the analytical algorithm according to the efficiency model of PMSM and the vehicle dynamic model in simple road conditions. In complex road conditions, considering the dynamic characteristics, the economic operating velocity trajectory of the EV can be obtained through the dynamic programming (DP) algorithm. Simulation and experimental results show that the minimum energy consumption and global energy optimization can be achieved when the EV operates in the economic operation area.

High speed permanent magnet (PM) machines are used in microturbine applications due to their compactness, robust construction, and high efficiency characteristics. These machines are integrated with the turbines and rotate at the same speeds. This paper discusses in detail the losses in high speed PM machines. A typical PM machine designed for microturbine application is presented with its detailed loss calculations. Various loss verification methods are also discussed.

Wind power applications using multi-poles permanent magnet generators have become very attractive especially in small ratings. Low-speed multi-pole PM generators are maintenance-free and may be used in different climate conditions. Most of the low speed wind turbine generators presented is permanent magnet machines, which have advantages of high efficiency and reliability since there is no need of external excitation and conductor losses are removed from the rotor. From the study two types of PM AC generator are designed with 6 pole pairs and the other one with 4 pole pairs. These generators were designed and analysed using Maxwell software. The results were compared for the best performance determination. The 6 poles generator was found to have good power output with less Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and high efficiency of over 92% that could be achieved at low wind speed of 2 m/s.

The global decarbonization targets require increasingly higher levels of efficiency from the designers of electrical machines. In this context, the opportunity to employ magnetic or semi-magnetic wedges in surface-mounted permanent magnet machines with fractional-slot concentrated winding has been evaluated in this paper, with the aim to reduce the power losses, especially in the magnets. Since an analytical calculation is not sufficient for this evaluation, finite element methods with two different software have been employed, by using a model experimentally validated on a real motor. The effects of wedges with different values of permeability and different magnetization characteristics have been evaluated on flux density, back electromotive force, and inductances, in order to choose the more suitable wedge for the considered motor. Furthermore, a new wedge consisting of different portions of materials with different magnetic permeability values is proposed. The effects of both conventional and unconventional magnetic wedges were assessed to optimize the motor performance in all working conditions.

This paper overviews high-speed permanent magnet (HSPM) machines, accounting for stator structures, winding configurations, rotor constructions, and parasitic effects. Firstly, single-phase and three-phase PM machines are introduced for high-speed applications. Secondly, for three-phase HSPM machines, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of slotted/slotless stator structures, non-overlapping/overlapping winding configurations, different rotor constructions, i.e., interior PM (IPM), surface-mounted PM (SPM), and solid PM, are summarised in detail. Thirdly, parasitic effects due to high-speed operation are presented, including various loss components, rotor dynamic and vibration, and thermal aspects. Overall, three-phase PM machines have no self-starting issues, and exhibit high power density, high efficiency, high critical speed, together with low vibration and noise, which make them a preferred choice for high-performance, high-speed applications.

The flux-switching permanent magnet machine (FSPMM) has got great attention by academic researchers during the past couple of years for its merits of strong mechanical robustness, high efficiency, strong thermal dissipation ability, etc. However, for its inherited double salient structure in both stator and rotor, the FSPMM suffers from severe torque and flux ripples at different rotor positions for its variable magnetic resistance, which cannot be solved completely only by electromagnetic optimal design. In order to increase the drive performance of FSPMM, such as dynamic response and stable torque smoothness, an improved model based predictive torque control (MPTC) algorithm is proposed. By using the cost function modulation strategy, the torque and flux ripples of FSPMM are reduced evidently, accompanying with the minimized converter switching frequency and power loss. Comprehensive simulation investigations are finally carried out to validate relevant theoretical analysis.
