A novel squirrel cage eddy current coupling with adjustable radial air gap was presented, which can change the output speed by changing the air gap thickness in radial direction between the copper strips and the permanent magnet. It has the advantages of no axial force in speed regulation and less eccentric force in axisymmetric structure. The 2-D electromagnetic torque model of the rotor was established, and the influence of the air gap thickness on the electromagnetic torque was also studied by finite element method. Further, a novel method to solve the dynamic equation of the eddy current coupling was proposed based on the effect of air gap thickness and relative speed on torque characteristics, and was applied to the speed regulation performance analysis. In addition, the influence of the relative magnetic permeability of the permanent magnet back yoke and the internal rotor on the speed regulation performance was studied.

AbstractAt present, the drivers with different control methods are used in most of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). A current outputted by a driver contains a large number of harmonics that will cause the PMSM torque ripple, winding heating and rotor temperature rise too large and so on. In this paper, in order to determine the influence of the current harmonics on the motor performance, different harmonic currents were injected into the motor armature. Firstly, in order to study the influence of the current harmonic on the motor magnetic field, a novel decoupling method of the motor magnetic field was proposed. On this basis, the difference of harmonic content in an air gap magnetic field was studied, and the influence of a harmonic current on the air gap flux density was obtained. Secondly, by comparing the fluctuation of the motor torque in the fundamental and different harmonic currents, the influence of harmonic on a motor torque ripple was determined. Then, the influence of different current harmonics on the eddy current loss of the motor was compared and analyzed, and the influence of the drive harmonic on the eddy current loss was obtained. Finally, by using a finite element method (FEM), the motor temperature distribution with different harmonics was obtained.

Halbach motor is a new type permanent magnet synchronous motor: unique permanent magnet structure makes its magnetic field unilateral and distributed sinusoidal, increases the magnetic density of air gap while decreases the magnetic density of rotor. It helps to raise the power density and efficiency of power, reduces the size of motor and the pulsating torque. The full-digital variable frequency adjustable speed AGV system with halbach motor based on the TMS320F2812 is designed, and its experiment result proves that it performed well and environment-friendly, saving the energy as well.

Abstrak:Dalam penelitian ini telah dianalisis efek air gap terhadap performa generator listrik tipe fluks aksial berbasismagnet permanen NdFeB. Analisis performa dilakukan dengan mengukur output tegangan generator listrik fluks aksialterhadap ukuran air gap dan kecepatan putar rotor. Air gap antara stator dan rotor divariasikan dari 7 sampai 20 mm. Darihasil eksperimen, peningkatan remanansi magnet berbanding lurus terhadap peningkatan output tegangan. Sebaliknya,peningkatan ukuran air gap menurunkan tegangan output secara linier. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya penurunan magnetikflux density secara exponensial. Pada ukuran air gap 7 mm dan kecepatan rotor 1500 rpm, dihasilkan output teganganmaksimal untuk Br = 0,2 dan 1,3 Tesla berturut-turut sebesar 10,4 dan 67,7 volt.Kata Kunci: air gap, generator listrik fluks aksial, ouput tegangan, magnet NdFeBAbstract:In this paper, the effect of air gap to the performance of NdFeB based permanent magnet axial flux electricalgenerator have been analyzed. The performance analysis was performed by measuring the ouput potential of generator asthe changing of air gap and rotational speed of rotor. The air gap was varied from 7 to 20 mm. Based on the experiment, theincreasing of magnetic remanence of permanent magnets was linearly corelated to the increasing of output voltage. On theother hand, increasing of the air gap was linearly reduced the ouput voltage. This effect is caused by the decreasing ofmagnetic flux densityexponentially. On the fixed air gap of 7 mm androtational speed of 1500 rpm, the maximum ouputvoltage is achived for Br = 0.2 and 1.3 Tesla  with the value of 10.4 and 67.7 volt, respectively.Keywords: air gap, axial flux electrical generator, ouput voltage, NdFeB magnets
