<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="593"><tbody><tr><td width="387" valign="top"><p>In recent years, permanent magnet machines have become a common choice in many industrial applications. Therefore, several structures have been developed, and the choice of a topology designed for a specified application requires the knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of different topologies. The present work deals with the evaluation of the performances of different radial flux surface-mounted permanent magnet motors designed for an electric vehicle motor application. The objective of this survey is to show the effect of the rotor position (inner or outer) and the magnets segmentation on the machine output torque and iron losses. In this context, four machines with: (i) inner rotor, (ii) inner rotor segmented magnets, (iii) outer rotor and (iv) outer rotor segmented magnets have been designed and studied. All these machines have the same geometrical dimensions and current loading. The main idea is to develop a machine with smoothness torque, lower torque ondulation, lower iron losses, and which is mechanically robust. Firstly, the output torque of the different structure is computed. Secondly, by means of an improved analytical model coupled with 2 dimensional transient finite element analysis (FEA), the machines iron losses are predicted.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

AbstractOuter-rotor permanent magnet machines for low-speed and high-torque applications have been used due to their high moment of inertia and torque density. In this paper, the 12-slot/10-pole outer-rotor fractional-slot permanent magnet machine model is established by finite element analysis, the influence of unequal stator tooth width and tooth tip width is investigated for the PM machine, and five different schemes of stator tooth and tip width are designed and analyzed. Detailed comparisons of the performance characteristics of the machines are presented including important issues such as output torque, magnetic field distribution, and tooth flux density. It is shown that the torque density and cogging torque and efficiency can be effectively improved by choosing reasonable tooth and tip width, which lays a foundation for further optimum design and efficiency improvement of the machine.

This paper presents the influence of several structural factors and parameters involved in the design of Claw Pole Transvers Flux Permanent Magnet Machines (TFPMs) on their internal voltage. Knowing the influence of each factor is very important for an effective process of design and optimization for these machines. In this paper by using the complete design algorithm of Claw Pole TFPM, only one parameter is changed at a time and its influence on the internal voltage is analyzed. Output torque is also studied, because the internal voltage has effect on both the average and the ripple of output torque. The most important factors and parameters which are considered are: 1) number of poles; 2) length of air gap; 3) ratio of magnet arc to flux concentrator arc in each pole of rotor; 4) shape of pole shoe of stator and 5) area of rotor pole covered by stator pole. Due to geometrical complexities of TFPMs, analytical methods fail to describe the behavior of these machines. For this reason, in this paper finite element analysis is used both in the design and analysis of TFPMs.

This paper presents a two-dimensional analytical model of outer rotor permanent magnet machines equipped with surface inset permanent magnets. To obtain the analytical model, the whole model is divided into the sub-domains, according to the magnetic properties and geometries. Maxwell equations in each sub-domain are expressed and analytically solved. By using the boundary/interface conditions between adjacent sub-regions, integral coefficients in the general solutions are obtained. At the end, the analytically calculated results of the air-gap magnetic flux density, electromagnetic torque, unbalanced magnetic force (UMF), back-electromotive force (EMF) and inductances are verified by comparing them with those obtained from finite element method (FEM). One of the merits of this method in comparison with the numerical model is the capability of rapid calculation with the highest precision, which made it suitable for optimization problems.

In this paper, a novel permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance machine (PMASynRM) with rare-earth PMs and ferrite magnets is proposed. The performance of PMASynRM is discussed with respected to the different magnet ratio of rare-earth PMs and ferrite magnets. Some characteristics including the flux density, output torque, cogging torque, output power, power factor, torque ripple, loss, efficiency, and demagnetization are calculated by 2-D finite element analysis (FEA). The analysis results show that the excellent performance can be obtained by using hybrid magnet of rare-earth PMs and ferrite magnets with the suitable magnet ratio, and provide some desirable cost-performance trade-off.

Flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) motors have gained increasing attention in the electric vehicles (EVs) applications due to the advantages of high power density, high efficiency. However, the heat sources of both permanent magnet (PM) and armature winding are located on the limited stator space in the FSPM motors, which may result in the PM overheated and irreversible demagnetization caused by temperature rise and it is often ignored in the conventional thermal analysis. In this paper, a new electrical-thermal two-way coupling design method is proposed to analyze the electromagnetic performances, where the change of PM material characteristics under different temperatures is taken into consideration. Firstly, the motor topology and design equations are introduced. Secondly, the demagnetization curves of PM materials under different temperatures are modeled due to PM materials are sensitive to the temperature. And based on the electrical-thermal two-way coupling method, the motor performances are evaluated in details, such as the load PM flux linkage and output torque. Then, the motor is optimized, and the electromagnetic performances between initial and improved motors are compared. Finally, a prototype motor is manufactured, and the results are validated by experimental measurements.
