This paper proposes an optimal design for a surface-mounted permanent magnet motor (SPMM) to reduce torque pulsations, including cogging torque and torque ripple, by using multi-grade ferrite magnets. Based on a conventional SPMM with single-grade ferrite magnets, the proposed SPMM is designed with four-grade ferrite magnets and then optimized to minimize torque pulsations by maintaining the required torque, utilizing the Kriging method and a genetic algorithm. The results obtained by the finite element analysis show that the optimized SPMM with multi-grade ferrite magnets exhibits improved airgap flux density distribution with highly reduced cogging torque and torque ripple by maintaining the same average torque, as compared to the conventional SPMM. Furthermore, the analysis of the working points for the multi-grade ferrite magnets reveals that the optimized SPMM has good durability against the irreversible demagnetization.

This paper presents a novel design strategy for surface inset permanent magnet (SIPM) motors to suppress torque pulsations and maintain the high output torque by integrating the magnet skewing and asymmetrical rotor configurations. The magnet skewing is implemented within one magnet pole pitch to reduce cogging torque by avoiding excessive torque degradation, and the asymmetrical rotor is designed to improve the utilization of the torque components, thus to compensate the decreased torque due to the magnet skewing. To highlight the advantages of the proposed motor, a conventional SIPM motor is adopted for performance comparison with the aid of the finite element method. As a result, the proposed SIPM motor highly reduced the cogging torque (−79.7%) and torque ripple (−54.7%) while maintaining a high average torque when compared to the conventional SIPM motor.

In this paper, a type interior permanent magnet synchronous motor designs is proposed for sport scooter application to improve constant torque wide speed performance. Interior Permanent Magnet machines are widely used in automotive applications for their wide-speed range operation and low maintenance cost. An existing permanent magnet motor (commercial QS Motor) is 3 kW-3000 rpm. In order to improve torque and power in wide speed range, a IPM electric motor 5.5 kW -5000 rpm can run up to 100 km/h: An Step-Skewing Interior Permanent Magnet motor alternatives is designed and optimized in detail with optimal magnetic segment V shape. The electromagnetic charateristics of Interior Permanent Magnet motors with V shape are compared with the reference Surface Permanent Magnet motor for the same geometry parameter requirements. Detailed loss and efficiency result is also analyzed at rate and maximum speeds. A prototype motor is manufactured, and initial experimental tests are performed. Detailed comparison between Finite Element Analysis and test data are also presented. It is shown that it is possible to have an optimized Interior Permanent Magnet motor for such high-speed traction application. This paper will figure out optimal angle of magnetic V shape for maximum torque and minimum torque ripple.

This paper presents a mitigation method of slot harmonic cogging torque considering unevenly magnetized magnets in a permanent magnet synchronous motor. In previous studies, it has been confirmed that non-uniformly magnetized permanent magnets cause an unexpected increase of cogging torque because of additional slot harmonic components. However, these studies did not offer a countermeasure against it. First, in this study, the relationship between the residual magnetic flux density of the permanent magnet and the cogging torque is derived from the basic form of the Maxwell stress tensor equation. Second, the principle of the slot harmonic cogging torque generation is explained qualitatively, and the mitigation method of the slot harmonic component is proposed. Finally, the proposed method is verified with the finite element analysis and experimental results.

The spoke-type permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), which is a general ferrite magnetic flux-concentrated motor, has a low portion of reluctance torque at the total torque magnitude. Therefore, as a way to increase the reluctance torque, there is a double-layer spoke-type PMSM that can maximize the difference in inductance between the d-axis and the q-axis. However, in the double-layer spoke-type PMSM, cogging torque, torque ripple, and total harmonic distortion (THD) increase with reluctance torque, which is the main cause of vibration and noise. In this paper, a method is proposed that provides the same effect as skew without dividing stages of the permanent magnet by dividing the core of the rotor into two types so that it is easy to manufacture according to the number of stages, unlike extant skew methods. Based on the method, the reduction in cogging torque and THD was verified by finite element analysis (FEA).

A Permanent Magnet BLDC motor is designed for reduction in cogging torque and flux per pole. The cogging torque causes direct impact in permanent magnet BLDC motor performance by causing torque ripple problems. This paper proposes a new method for reducing cogging torque by adapting to U-clamped magnetic poles. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to calculate the cogging torque and the flux per pole for different shapes of magnetic pole. It can be shown that the cogging torque could be greatly reduced by adapting to U-clamped magnetic poles. At the same time it is found that the flux per pole is also considerably reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the cogging torque and flux per pole for various designs available in the literature.
