Flux Weakening

In several industrial sectors, induction machines are being replaced with permanent magnet based alternatives, owing to the potential for higher power density and efficiency. However, high-speed applications feature a wide flux-weakening region, where advanced induction machines could bring benefits in terms of system-level optimization. This paper gives an overview the technological challenges for high-speed drives with induction machines, materials, simulations and future challenges for the power electronics in these applications. The target application is a high-speed induction machine for a naval turbocharging system. The comparison with permanent magnet synchronous machines will demonstrate how the extended flux weakening operation effectively allows for a weight reduction of the overall system.

Flux Weakening

Soft ferrite has the characteristics of high permeability, high resistivity, low loss. Based on this, a new flux-weakening structure of high-speed permanent magnet motor was presented. The structure relies on changing the saturation of soft magnetic ferrite to change the equivalent magnetic resistance of permanent magnet magnetic circuit in the motor, so the main flux of the permanent magnet motor can be reduced. By the 3D Finite Element analyses, the magnetic field distribution characters in the air gap can be pointed out. The analysis results prove the flux-weakening method is presented in this paper is correct and feasible. It can provide a practical flux-weakening method of the high-speed PM motor.
