In the field of electric vehicles, the high power density demand for the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has made the thermal management a great challenge, especially the end winding. For enhance the heat dissipation for end winding, Aluminum Nitride (AlN) potting compound is introduced. Numerical simulation is performed in this paper to evaluation the effect of usage of potting compound. A prototype motor is built up with the end winding filling with the proposed potting material. Experiment shows that the heat dissipation has improved compared with the baseline motor.

Ferrites and Different Winding Types in Permanent Magnet Synchronous MotorThis paper deals with design of permanent magnet synchronous machines with ferrites. The ferrites became popular due to their low cost and cost increasing of NdFeB. The progress in ferrite properties in the last decade allows the use of ferrites in high power applications. Three models of ferrite motors are presented. It is shown that also the type of stator winding and the shape of the slot opening have an important effect on the PMSM properties. The first motor has a distributed winding, the second motor has concentrated, non-overlapping winding and open stator slots. The third motor has a concentrated non-overlapping winding and semi - open slots. All models are designed for the same output power and they do not have the same dimensions. The paper shows how important the design of an electric machine is for excellent motor properties or better to say how the motor properties can be improved by an appropriate design.

The objective of this work is to find the optimal geometric parameters for the design of permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) with inversed structure (outer rotor) for electric vehicles applications. Firstly, the machine model is presented with a special attention given to the calculation of the mass and engine efficiency. A multi objective optimization based on the genetic algorithm is then implemented. It will determine the parameters values that optimize the chosen criteria while respecting the specifications: to minimizing the total mass and maximizing the machine efficiency. Finally, 2D steady-state finite element analysis is used for to verify the results given by the optimization method.
