Permanent magnet generator (PMG) for vehicles has attracted more and more attention because of its high efficiency, high power density, and high reliability. However, the weak main air-gap magnetic field can affect the output performance and the normal use of electrical equipment. Aiming at the problem, this paper took the rotor magnetomotive force (MMF), the direct influencing parameter of the main air-gap magnetic field, as the research object, deduced the analytical expression of rotor MMF of the built-in radial PMG in detail, and analyzed its main influencing factors in analytical expression, including the permanent magnet steel (PMS) material, the thickness of PMS in magnetizing direction, the vertical length of the inner side of PMS, and the effective calculation length of PMS. Based on this, the rotor parameters were optimized to obtain the best values. After that, the finite element simulation and prototype test of the optimized generator were carried out. The comparative analysis results showed that the optimized rotor parameters could effectively improve the rotor MMF and optimize the output performance of the generator.

The direct drive permanent magnet motor (DDPMM) is a promising candidate for applications because of its high efficiency, high power density, and low maintenance costs. This study focused on the effect of slot opening width on the air-gap magnetic field of a DDPMM. An exact analytical model based on Fourier analysis was established to calculate the air-gap magnetic field. The analytical general solution of the air-gap magnetic field shows that the slot opening greatly affects the air-gap magnetic field distribution when the amount of the permanent magnet is constant. Then, the air-gap magnetic fields of the DDPMM with closed and open slots were compared at different positions. Furthermore, several finite-element models of motors composed of different numbers of unit motor were established based on the different slot opening widths to study the effect of slot opening width on the air-gap magnetic field. The results obtained using the finite element method verify that the slot opening width greatly affects the air-gap magnetic field.

The torque ripple is affected by both the stator and the rotor magnetic field harmonics. In synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM), there are only rotor permeance harmonics existing on the rotor side for the absence of the rotor windings. Since the asymmetric rotor flux barriers are widely applied in the SynRM rotor, it is difficult to calculate the rotor permeance accurately by the analytical method. In this article, the effects of the rotor permeance harmonics on the air-gap magnetic field are studied by a virtual permanent magnet harmonic machine (VPMHM), which is a finite-element (FE) based magnetostatic analysis model. The air-gap flux density harmonics produced by the SynRM rotor are extracted from the VPMHM model and used as the intermediate variables for the torque ripple optimization. The proposed method does not need to solve the transient process of motor motion. Hence, the time of the optimization process can be significantly shortened. Finally, a full electric cycle is simulated by dynamic FE simulation, and the torque ripple is proved to be effectively reduced.

In order to further improve the power supply system reliability of low voltage high current vehicle generator, hybrid excitation is used and the permanent magnets are added between the main magnetic poles body and pole shoes. Aiming at reply the problem of limited installation space, the asymmetric pole structure, non-uniform commutating pole, single wave windings playing a role of the pressure line and oblique brush etc are investigated for improving commutation. This paper researched on the distribution of the flux line, the waveform of the air gap magnetic field, and analysis inner magnetic field at the loading by hybrid excitation and no loading by permanent magnet excitation alone respectively with the method of finite element. The results reveal that the magnetic field established by several excitation systems is still symmetric and uniform although the asymmetric structure, so it ensures the provision of suitable medium space for mechanical and electrical energy conversion. By comparing the permanent magnets excitation alone and hybrid excitation in a generator magnetic field distribution and air gap magnetic field waveform, the permanent magnet excitation and electricity excitation realized the superposition of magnetic field, and common establish main generator magnetic field. Hybrid excitation also reduces the current density of excitation coils and improves the heat dissipating performance compared with electrically excited alone. Through the performance analysis of the hybrid excitation, the output voltage waveform is very stable. The curve of auxiliary excitation current along with velocity variation provide important basis for excitation control devices and the development of control algorithm. It will help to improve the stability, reliability and security of the generator, the results can provide key technical support to the development of low-voltage high-current hybrid excitation vehicle generator.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a new optimal design for integral slot permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) to shape the air-gap magnetic field in sinusoidal and to reduce the cogging torque, simultaneously. Design/methodology/approach For obtaining this new optimal design, the influence of different magnetizations of permanent magnets (PMs), including radial, parallel and halbach magnetization is investigated on the performance of one typical PMSM by using the conformal mapping (CM) method. To reduce the cogging torque even more, the technique of slot opening shift is also implemented on the stator slots of analyzed PMSM without reduction in the main performance, including the air-gap magnetic field, the average torque and back-electromotive force (back-EMF). Findings Finally, an optimal configuration including the Hat-type magnet poles with halbach magnetization on the rotor and shifted slot openings on the stator is obtained through the CM method, which shows the main reduction in cogging torque and the harmonic content of air-gap magnetic field. Practical implications The obtained optimal design is completely practical and is validated by comparing with the corresponding results obtained through finite element method. Originality/value This paper presents a new optimal design for integral slot PMSMs, which can include different design considerations, such as the reduction of cogging torque and the total harmonic distortion of air-gap magnetic field by using the CM method.

The application of an inverter is becoming more and more widespread in the surface-mounted permanent-magnet synchronous motor (SMPMSM). A large number of voltage harmonics can be generated by the inverter. The electromagnetic torque, loss, and air-gap magnetic density of the SMPMSM are affected by voltage harmonic. To analyze its influence, taking a 3 kW 1500 r/min SMPMSM as an example, a two-dimensional transient electromagnetic field model is established. The correctness of the model is verified by comparing the experimental data with the calculated data. Firstly, the finite element method is used to calculate the electromagnetic field of the SMPMSM, and the performance parameters of the SMPMSM are obtained. Based on these parameters, the influence of voltage harmonic on motor performance is analyzed quantitatively. Secondly, the influence of the voltage harmonic on the air-gap magnetic field is analyzed, and the influence degree of the time harmonic on the air-gap magnetic field is determined. At the same time, torque ripple, average torque, and loss are studied when the different harmonics orders, amplitudes, and phase angles are contained in voltage, and the variation is obtained. Finally, the variation mechanism of eddy current loss is revealed. The conclusion of this paper provides reliable theoretical guidance for improving motor performance.

Purpose This paper aims to present an analytical method, which combines the complex permeance (CP) and the superposition concept, to predict the air-gap magnetic field distribution in surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) machines with eccentric air-gap. Design/methodology/approach The superposition concept is used twice; first, to predict the magnetic field distribution in slot-less machine with eccentric air-gap, the machine is divided into a number of sections. Then, for each section, an equivalent air-gap length is determined, and the magnetic field distribution is predicted as a concentric machine model. The air-gap field in the slot-less machine with eccentricity can be combined from these concentric models. Second, the superposition concept is used to find the CP under eccentricity fault. At this end, the original machine is divided into a number of sections which may be different from the one for slot-less magnetic field prediction, and for each section, the CP is obtained by equivalent air-gap length of that section. Finally, the air-gap magnetic field distribution is predicted by multiplying the slot-less magnetic field distribution and the obtained CP. Findings The radial and tangential components of the air-gap magnetic flux density are obtained using the proposed method analytically. The finite element analysis is used to validate the proposed method results, showing good agreements with the analytical results. Originality/value This paper addresses the eccentricity fault impact upon the air-gap magnetic field distribution of SMPM machines. This is done by a combined analysis of the complex permeance (CP) method and the superposition concept. This contrasts to previous studies which have instead focused on the subdomain method.
