This paper presents the electromagnetic and thermal characteristics of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in a joint actuator which is used for articulated robot application. In an attempt to design a compact PMSM for the articulated robot, robot link should be taken into consideration during the motor design process as it can reduce the temperature distribution on motor, thus reducing the volume of the motor. A lumped-parameter thermal model of PMSM with and without a link is proposed considering the core loss, copper loss, and mechanical loss as heat sources. The electromagnetic and thermal analysis results are well confirmed by the experiment in a 400 W 20-pole/24-slot PMSM. The experiment results show that the robot link helps to reduce the motor end-winding temperature by about 40%, and this leads to an increase in power density of the motor.

Three dimensional (3–D), finite–element (FE) models and original lumped–parameter networks are developed for the transient thermal analysis of a permanent magnet motor (PMM) and an induction motor (IM) specifically designed and optimized for a demanding aerospace actuation application. A systematic comparison between the two different thermal modeling approaches is carried out using different loading conditions.

<span>This paper present the influence of pole number on the characteristics of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). This study is devoted to construct three different motors with varying pole numbers and investigating its effect on the characteristics of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). It is a study on an influence of pole numbers on electromagnetic and thermal characteristics of the PMSMs all while maintaining the same motor dimensions, parameters and slot number. The study is conducted to analyse the best slot-pole combination for a given dimension to determine if pole numbers have a role in the motor performance. The analysis for these permanent magnet motors is done via finite element analysis (FEA) in which JMAG Designer software is used. The software is used to analyse the motor performance in terms of cogging torque, speed, power, iron loss, copper loss as well as the efficiency of the motor itself. All three motors were simulated in no load and load condition.</span>

For avoiding the damage of the insulation and permanent magnet, the temperature rise of the PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor) should be controlled strictly, it is usually one of the main objectives during improving the output power and torque density beyond the state-of-the-art in motor design. In this research, the coolant channel will be placed within the yoke of the stator core to enhance the heat transfer between the stator core and the coolant. Hydrophobic coating is applied to replace the metal tube for increasing the utilization of the cross area of the coolant channel. The impact of the coolant channel on the performance of the permanent magnet motor is analyzed. A general design method of the coolant channel is presented. The result shows that the change of the stator core loss is within about 10% as the coolant channel is moved away from the slot along the radial direction while the back electromotive force of the motor could keep constant through appropriate design. The impacts of the coolant channels on the magnet performance and the heat dissipation performance could be divided completely with the design method. The method can be applied on various PMSM including SPM (surface-mounted permanent magnet motor) and IPMSM (interior permanent magnet synchronous motor). Sufficient coolant flow could be provide to help conduct the temperature rise of the motor.

An accurate mathematic model of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is necessary for precise torque control and/or high efficiency drive control. This paper discusses the development model of PMSM by taking all losses and saturation into account. In the proposed model, all losses composing of the copper loss, core loss, mechanical loss and stray loss were analyzed to improve the torque equation. In addition, considering the influence of saturation level, the variations of the core loss resistance, direct-quadrature axis magnetic inductance and permanent magnet flux were discussed on support of the data analyzed by Ansoft. In order to verify the developed model, a start up simulation is performed in the mode of open-loop and the results confirm the validity of the model.

Power rectifiers are very necessary in the wind power generation systems since they are the necessary channels that link the generator and power gird together. However, they have some effects on the permanent magnet wind generator due to their work on fast on-off transitions. Taking an 8kW 2000r/min wind-driven permanent magnet generator as an example, the system model and external circuit were established. Firstly, based on the field-circuit coupling calculation method, the voltage and current harmonics have been studied respectively when the generator was connected to rectifier loads and pure resistance loads, so did the total harmonic distortion. The mechanism of harmonic impacted by rectifiers was revealed. Secondly, combined the harmonic electromagnetic field theory, the stator core loss, armature winding copper loss and rotor eddy loss were analyzed when the generator connected different loads. Furthermore, according to the definition of nonlinear circuits PF, the numerical analysis method was adopted to calculate the power factor when the generator connected two loads respectively. The change mechanism of PF impacted by rectifiers has been revealed. In addition, the temperature field model has been established and the generator temperature was also analyzed. The temperature distributions were obtained when the wind generator was connected to different loads. Then, the relationship between losses and temperature was combined, the change rules of permanent magnet temperature by the eddy current loss were studied under different load. At last, it can prove that the rectifiers have influences on both electromagnetic field and temperature field through comparing the simulation results with experimental test data.
