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.

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.

For each characteristic of surface-mounted permanent magnet motor and built-in permanent magnet motor, this paper presents a new rotor hybrid topologies structure of both the permanent magnet motors. Surface Mounted, built-in and hybrid permanent magnet motor topology model were established using the finite element method for to calculate the static magnetic field three structures of the motor. Comparative analysis of their contour distribution of the pole from the amplitude distribution within the air gap flux density and the flux density of the cloud were done. Air-gap magnetic field distribution in permanent magnet motor proposed new structure is more close to the sine, which is basis on the motor design, operation and so on.

This paper presented a novel analytical method for calculating magnetic field in the slotted air gap of spoke-type permanent-magnet machines using conformal mapping. Firstly, flux density without slots and complex relative air-gap permeance of slotted air gap are derived from conformal transformation separately. Secondly, they are combined in order to obtain normalized flux density taking account into the slots effect. The finite element (FE) results confirmed the validity of the analytical method for predicting magnetic field and back electromotive force (BEMF) in the slotted air gap of spoke-type permanent-magnet machines. In comparison with FE result, the analytical solution yields higher peak value of cogging torque.

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.
