Asynchronous and valve-inductor (synchronous-reactive) motors have high efficiency at high rotor speeds, while permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPM and IPM) have high efficiency at low and medium frequencies. The latter are the most optimal for urban conditions, and the former for conditions of operation on highways and highways. Synchronous motors with permanent magnets are more expensive, so a good alternative to them can be synchronous-jet motors with permanent magnets, which determine the optimal balance of active and reactive torque, as well as efficiency. Keywords: synchronous motor, asynchronous motor, valve-inductor motor, synchronous-jet motor, permanent magnet, efficiency, operating conditions, reactive torque

The application of line-start permanent magnet synchronous motors (LSPMSMs) is rapidly spreading due to their advantages of high efficiency, high operational power factor, being self-starting, rendering them as highly needed in many applications in recent years. Although there have been standard methods for the identification of parameters of synchronous and induction machines, most of them do not apply to LSPMSMs. This paper presents a study and analysis of different parameter identification methods for interior mount LSPMSM. Experimental tests have been performed in the laboratory on a 1-hp interior mount LSPMSM. The measurements have been validated by investigating the performance of the machine under different operating conditions using a developed qd0 mathematical model and an experimental setup. The dynamic and steady-state performance analyses have been performed using the determined parameters. It is found that the experimental results are close to the mathematical model results, confirming the accuracy of the studied test methods. Therefore, the output of this study will help in selecting the proper test method for LSPMSM.

Line start permanent magnet synchronous motors (LS-PMSM) are preferred more and more in industrial applications, because they can start on their own and because of their high efficiency. In this study, a new LS-PMSM rotor typology is suggested, which is modelled using surface mount permanent magnets, in which two different slot types have been used together. The rotor of an asynchronous motor on the industrial market in the IE2 efficiency segment has been remodeled in the study, resulting in an increase in motor efficiency from 85% to 91.8%. A finite elements software was used for determining motor design and performance, in addition to analytical methods.

In order to improve energy performance and simplify the system of frequency control of the speed of electric drives, the area of application of synchronous frequency-controlled electric drives with both dependent and independent frequency setting of the voltage supplying the engine is being expanded. This is due to the fact that, as compared with asynchronous variable frequency drives, synchronous ones undergo lower power losses and they have rigid mechanical characteristics without speed feedback. Also, the simplest law of frequency control, viz. a proportional one, which, however, provides the maximum electromagnetic torque of the engine unchanged at R1 = 0 at all frequencies due to the constant magnetic flux, is applicable to a synchronous frequency controlled motor. Characteristics and properties of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) with the dependent frequency setting of supplied voltage (under vector control of PMSM) have been discussed and reviewed in technical literature quite sufficiently. It cannot be said about the PMSM with independent frequency setting reference which work under scalar frequency control. In the present article a comparison of properties and characteristics of vector and scalar frequency controlled PMSM is presented. For a scalar frequency controlled PMSM a function of the relative voltage g on the relative frequency a (g = f(a)) taking into account the PMSM parameters has been defined. The derived function g = f(a) differs from a proportional law of frequency control g = a. It is found that the influence of the parameters on the law of frequency control is small, and it can be applied without adjustment in most cases, in contrast to the frequency control of the asynchronous motor. For scalar frequency control, a method for determining the parameters of synchronous motors has been proposed in accordance with the parameters of synchronous motors with permanent magnets, which are given for operation under vector control. According to the presented methodology the OMRON SGMH-50D engine parameters have been determined for scalar frequency control and the function of g = f(a) have been computed.

Underwater vehicle propulsion performed by exploiting electrical motor is in general the most flexible solution and it is growing in popularity because of its high efficiency both at high and at low advance speed, quick and simple deployment, low costs, and encumbrance. In the present work, permanent magnet synchronous motors for underwater propulsion are proposed. In particular, advanced sensorless control techniques of permanent magnet synchronous motors permit reduced costs, high reliability, and performances. When dealing with small autonomous underwater vehicle propulsion, such devices are hard to find in the market. Hence, the authors focused the research in the development of a system able to perform a reliable rotational speed and torque sensorless estimation. The design and implementation of a complete solution for underwater propulsion are presented as well as a novel rotor polarity identification technique exploiting a high-frequency injection control. Pool tests for the identification of the performances and of the dynamic parameters of the propulsion system are presented. Finally, the possibility of operating a sensorless estimation of the thrust and torque exerted by the propeller and pool test measurements are presented. These features could be exploited to improve navigation accuracy and involves obvious benefits in terms of cost reduction and reliability of the system.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors are the main power output components of electric vehicles. Once a failure occurs, it will affect the vehicle’s power, stability, and safety. While as a complex field-circuit coupling system composed of machine-electric-magnetic-thermal, the permanent magnet synchronous motor of electric vehicle has various operating conditions and complicated condition environment. There are various forms of failure, and the signs of failure are crossed or overlapped. Randomness, secondary, concurrency, and communication characteristics make it difficult to diagnose faults. Based on the research of a list of related references, this article reviews the methods of intelligent fault diagnosis for electric vehicle permanent magnet synchronous motors. The research status and development trend of fault diagnosis are analyzed. It provides theoretical basis for motor fault diagnosis and health management in multi-variable working conditions and multi-physics environment.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), which are with the advantages of high torque-to-weight ratio and high efficiency, are widely applied in modern industrial systems. However, existing approaches may fail to accurately track the speed trajectory because of the load disturbances. This paper proposes an equivalent and combined control strategy to mitigate the slow time-varying load disturbances and decrease the overshoot for PMSM in full speed range. First, a state observer is proposed to reconstruct the current variables and speed state in the d-q axis. Hence, one can get the speed and position information without the sensors. Then, the disturbance and the load are estimated by the estimating law. Thus, it can reduce the effect of load and disturbances. Further, the PD control is introduced to weaken the overshoot. As a result, the speed trajectory can be more effectively hold both in high speed and low speed. Finally, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed estimation scheme and its robustness under different conditions.

The detection of a precursor to the demagnetization of permanent magnets is very important because a high degree of reliability is necessary in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). This paper investigated the diagnosis of very slight PM demagnetization. A part of the permanent magnet was altered to non-magnetic material so as to mimic the effect of demagnetization. The vibration characteristics were clarified for low demagnetization in PMSMs driven under vector control by experiments and 3D finite element (FE) analysis. We found that the amplitude of some components of the vibration was approximately proportional to the demagnetization level of the PM and the load torque. Therefore, the measurement of vibration and torque is very useful for the estimation of the magnetization level of PMSMs under vector control except for under very light load.

Permanent magnet synchronous machines with non-overlapping concentrated fractional-slot windings present certain improved electrical characteristics compared to full pitch windings configurations. This paper describes the design process and construction of two 10-pole permanent magnet synchronous motors, featuring full-pitch and fractional-pitch windings. The paper compares these two configurations in terms of performance and efficiency. Both motors have been designed for direct-drive applications with low speed and high efficiency capability and are intended to be used as a traction drive in an electric prototype vehicle. The proposed motors have external rotor configuration with surface mounted NdFeB magnets. The electromagnetic characteristics and performance are computed and analyzed by means of finite elements analysis. These results are finally compared with the experimental measurements on respective prototypes.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a new optimal design for integral slot permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) to shape the air-gap magnetic field in sinusoidal and to reduce the cogging torque, simultaneously. Design/methodology/approach For obtaining this new optimal design, the influence of different magnetizations of permanent magnets (PMs), including radial, parallel and halbach magnetization is investigated on the performance of one typical PMSM by using the conformal mapping (CM) method. To reduce the cogging torque even more, the technique of slot opening shift is also implemented on the stator slots of analyzed PMSM without reduction in the main performance, including the air-gap magnetic field, the average torque and back-electromotive force (back-EMF). Findings Finally, an optimal configuration including the Hat-type magnet poles with halbach magnetization on the rotor and shifted slot openings on the stator is obtained through the CM method, which shows the main reduction in cogging torque and the harmonic content of air-gap magnetic field. Practical implications The obtained optimal design is completely practical and is validated by comparing with the corresponding results obtained through finite element method. Originality/value This paper presents a new optimal design for integral slot PMSMs, which can include different design considerations, such as the reduction of cogging torque and the total harmonic distortion of air-gap magnetic field by using the CM method.
