This paper reports the construction of a mathematical model for determining the electromagnetic momentum of a synchronous reluctance motor with non-partitioned permanent magnets. Underlying it is the calculation of the engine magnetic field using the finite-element method in the flat-parallel problem statement. The model has been implemented in the FEMM finite-element analysis environment. The model makes it possible to determine the engine's electromagnetic momentum for various rotor geometries. The problem of conditional optimization of the synchronous reluctance motor rotor was stated on the basis of the rotor geometric criteria. As an analysis problem, it is proposed to use a mathematical model of the engine's magnetic field. Constraints for geometric and strength indicators have been defined. The Nelder-Mead method was chosen as the optimization technique. The synthesis of geometrical parameters of the synchronous reluctance motor rotor with non-partitioned permanent magnets has been proposed on the basis of solving the problem of conditional optimization. The restrictions that are imposed on optimization parameters have been defined. Based on the study results, the dependence of limiting the angle of rotation of the magnet was established on the basis of strength calculations. According to the calculation results based on the proposed procedure, it is determined that the optimal distance from the interpole axis and the angle of rotation of magnets is at a limit established by the strength of the rotor structure. Based on the calculations, the value of the objective function decreased by 24.4 % (from −847 Nm to −1054 Nm), which makes it possible to significantly increase the electromagnetic momentum only with the help of the optimal arrangement of magnets on the engine rotor. The results of solving the problem of synthesizing the rotor parameters for a trolleybus traction motor helped determine the optimal geometrical parameters for arranging permanent magnets.

In order to improve the efficiency, a line-start synchronous reluctance motor (LS-SynRM) is studied as an alternative to an induction motor (IM). However, because of the saliency characteristic of SynRM, LS-SynRM have a limited power factor. Therefore, to improve the efficiency and power factor of electric motors, we propose a line-start permanent magnet assistance synchronous reluctance motor (LS-PMA-SynRM) with permanent magnets inserted into LS-SynRM. IM and LS-SynRM are selected as reference models, whose performances are analyzed and compared with that of LS-PMA-SynRM using a finite element analysis. The performance of LS-PMA-SynRM is analyzed considering the position and length of its permanent magnet, as well as its manufacture. The final model of LS-PMA-SynRM is designed for improving the efficiency and power factor of electric motors compared with LS-SynRM. To verify the finite element analysis (FEA) result, the final model is manufactured, experiments are conducted, and the performance of LS-PMA-SynRM is verified.

This paper reports the model of a magnetic field of the synchronous reluctance motor with permanent magnets that was developed on the basis of a finite-element method. The model was implemented in the FEMM finite-element analysis programming environment involving the application of the Lua-based script. The model makes it possible to determine the dependence of the engine's electromagnetic moment on the rotor rotation angle. Determining the level of a saw-shaped moment is important for assessing its harmful effect on the structural elements of the traction motor and the drive in general. The results of digital modeling have established the dependences of the electromagnetic moment on the rotor rotation angle. The moment has a variable component – the saw-shaped moment, whose amplitude for open grooves under a rated load mode is 182 Nm, and for semi-open grooves ‒ 90 Nm. The use of semi-open grooves exerts a positive effect on eliminating the saw-shaped moment in a synchronous reluctance motor with permanent magnets and may be recommended for further application on engines of this type. Semi-open grooves reduce the opening of the stator groove by 2 times and lead to a smoother flux distribution under the gear division. That reduces the oscillations of the main magnetic flux. The proposed application of semi-open stator grooves makes it possible to reduce by more than 2 times the level of a saw-shaped moment of the synchronous reluctance motor with permanent magnets under a rated mode. It has been determined that a rather positive factor is an increase of 4.8 % in the average motor moment value under a rated mode when using semi-open grooves. This is due to a decrease in the average value of magnetic resistance to the main magnetic flux. Therefore, with a simultaneous decrease in the moment's fluctuations, the transition to semi-open grooves makes it possible to improve the mass-dimensional indicators of the motor in general.

The rare-earth (RE) permanent magnets (PM) have been increasingly adopted in traction motor application. However, the RE PM is expensive, less abundant, and has cost uncertainties due to limited market suppliers. This paper presents a new design of a RE-free five-phase ferrite permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (Fe-PMaSynRM) with the external rotor architecture with a high saliency ratio. In such architecture, the low magnetic coercivity and demagnetization risk of the ferrite PM is the challenge. This limits the number of flux barriers, saliency ratio, and reluctance torque. A precise analytical design procedure of rotor and stator configuration is presented with differential evolution numerical optimizations by utilizing a lumped parameter model. A 3.7 kW prototype is fabricated to validate the proposed idea.

The ability to focus biological particles into a designated position of a microchannel is vital for various biological applications. This paper reports particle focusing under vertical and inclined magnetic fields. We analyzed the effect of the angle of rotation (θ) of the permanent magnets and the critical Reynolds number (Rec) on the particle focusing in depth. We found that a rotation angle of 10° is preferred; a particle loop has formed when Re < Rec and Rec of the inclined magnetic field is larger than that of the vertical magnetic field. We also conducted experiments with polystyrene particles (10.4 μm in diameter) to prove the calculations. Experimental results show that the focusing effectiveness improved with increasing applied magnetic field strength or decreasing inlet flow rate.

The Magnetic Field

This paper presents finite-element analysis (FEA) of the magnetic field of a magnetic gear mechanism. An external type magnetic gear mechanism, which consists of two identical magnetic gears with sector-shaped permanent magnets, is introduced first. Then, the magnetostatic field distribution and transmitted torque of the magnetic gear mechanism are simulated by a commercial FEA package Ansoft/ Maxwell. Next, the effects of design parameters, including the air-gap length, the number of magnetic pole pairs, and the height of permanent magnets, on the maximum transmitted torque are discussed. The results of this work are beneficial to the design of magnetic gear mechanisms.
