In electrical vehicle applications, power density plays a significant role in improving machine performance. The main objective of this paper is to design and analyze the performance of in-wheel outer rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) used in electric vehicles based on a previously designed model. The key challenge is to achieve the best machine performance regarding the highest torque density and lowest torque ripple. This work also aims at reducing the machine cost by using permanent magnet (PM) material, which has less energy density than the PM used in the previously designed model. An optimization procedure is carried out to improve the generated torque, keeping the same aspects of size and volume of the selected machine. On the other hand, the other specifications of the machine are taken into consideration and are maintained within the acceptable level. According to their major impact on the machine’s performance, the most important parameters of machine designing is selected during the optimization procedure. This proposed machine is implemented and tested using the finite element software package “MagNet 7.4.1” with Visual Basic 16.0 programming language and MATLAB 9.5 Simulink for post-processing.

This paper presents the world’s smallest inset permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with a soft magnetic composite (SMC) core, providing ease of manufacturing for micromachine applications without silicon steel laminations. The inset motor can offer an additional reluctance torque and higher torque density with a lower usage amount of permanent magnet. A 15 mm diameter inset motor was developed with the thickness of a tile-type permanent magnet which is limited to 1 mm by the manufacturer. The motor was designed with high torque density and low torque ripple by varying the interpole iron width for the rotor. Two inset motors were made using both SMC and silicon steel materials for comparison. The performance of the SMC motor was inferior to the silicon steel motor, but it still meets the specifications of the commercial market. If the thickness of the tile-type permanent magnet is further reduced, the micro inset motor with a SMC core can be easily mass-manufactured using powder sintering.

This study describes the development of the world’s smallest interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) to increase the torque density of micromotors. The research evaluates the feasibility of the miniaturization of IPMSM since recent studies in this area focus on medium to large size compressor and traction motor applications. The standard-type and spoke-type IPMSM were selected for ease of micro machining. In order to surpass the performance of an inset motor of the same size used in previous research, the interior motors were designed with a different slot pole number, permanent magnet shape and rotor structure. Two types of interior motors were manufactured and tested to compare their performance. It was shown that the spoke-type interior motor had a better output torque, while the standard-type interior motor had a lower torque ripple, and both motors matched the specifications of commercially available motors. To achieve a higher torque density, the IPMSM designs increased the slot pole number from 6 slots 4 poles to 9 slots 6 poles. The torque density of the spoke-type motor was increased by 48% compared to the inset motor. The disadvantage is that the new design has a greater number of parts and smaller size, resulting in difficulties in manufacturing and assembly.

In order to deeply understand the characteristics of the permanent magnet synchronous motor direct torque control method, its mathematical models were established in the two-phase stationary coordinate system, the two-phase synchronous rotating coordinate system, and x-y stator synchronous rotating coordinate system. The implementation process of direct torque control method in varied stator winding connection was analyzed in detail. In order to improve the speed and torque performance of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, the direct torque control block diagram and the space voltage vector selection table were given. Finally, the summary and outlook of reducing torque ripple in the permanent magnet synchronous motor direct torque control methods.

In an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor, an adhesive such as bond is generally injected into the magnet tolerance to prevent vibration of the permanent magnet within the insertion space. In this case, a disadvantage is that the magnet tolerance does not contribute to the performance. In this paper, ferrofluid is inserted to improve the torque density, utilizing the magnet tolerance. When inserting ferrofluid into the magnet tolerance, it is important to fix the magnet because conventional adhesives are not used, and it is important that the ferrofluid does not act as a leakage path within the insertion space. In this study, a new rotor configuration using a plastic barrier that satisfies these considerations was introduced. The analysis was conducted through finite element analysis (FEA), and this technique was verified by comparing the simulation results and the experimental results through a dynamo test. It was confirmed that the no-load back electromotive force in the final model increased through ferrofluid injection.

In this work, the direct torque control (DTC) is applied to the five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (FP-PMSM). The DTC method based on classical space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is a common solution used to overcome traditional problems; such as stator flux ripple, electromagnetic torque ripple and gives more total harmonic distortion (THD) of the stator current. The actual paper is based on improving the performance of DTC-SVPWM by using the feedforward neural networks (FNNs) instead of the proportional-integral (PI) regulators and hysteresis comparators (HCs) of the conventional SVPWM strategy. This algorithm can solve the traditional PI regulators and HCs problems which are represented in responses dynamic and reduce the torque ripple, flux ripple, and the THD of stator current of FP-PMSM drives. The proposed strategy was tested in different tests with simulation using Matlab software.
