In view of the time consuming and sensitive to finite element meshes, the finite element method is not suitable for claw pole machine with outer permanent magnet rotors with complicated and asymmetric 3D structure. A new analytical calculation model based on air-gap magnetic field analysis in polar coordinates is proposed. According to boundary conditions, the radial and tangential flux density is obtained by using the Fourier’s series, and then the cogging torque and no load EMF is calculated. In order to verify the accuracy of the analytical method, the finite element analysis is finished. Moreover, one prototype is manufactured and measured also. The analytical results well agree with those obtained by the FEM and experiments, confirmed the feasibility of this method.

A changing air gap permeance model of the alternator and its influence were discussed in this paper. When the alternator was under high-speed operation, taking it into consideration that the claws getting deformation for rotating centrifugal force and electromagnetic exciting force, the alternator’s changing air gap permeance model was established. And the alternator’s Maxwell3D calculation model was built. The field magnetic distribution under the rated speed was obtained as well, also before the claws’ deformation was obtained. The harmonics of the air-gap flux were analyzed and compared. The changing air gap permeance model was proved to be reasonable. It would lead to air-gap magnetic field distortion of the generator, which affected the generator’s electromagnetic properties. Instruction was provided for more precise of air gap magnetic field analysis or vibration noise analysis of alternator.

Due to the large transverse edge effect for U-shaped ironless permanent magnet synchronous linear motor affect the distribution of air gap magnetic field is large, it will reduce the no-load back electromotive force and thrust. This paper proposes a novel method to evaluate the effect of transverse edge effect based on Kriging surrogate model. By comparing the results of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element analysis of the air gap magnetic field of the motor, it can be seen transverse length of the motor, air gap height and thickness of the permanent magnet are the main influencing factors.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an improved conformal mapping (ICM) method that simultaneously considers the influence of relative recoil permeability of PMs, the armature reaction, the stator slotting, and the magnetic saturation on determination of the PM operating point in its different parts. Design/methodology/approach The ICM method is a time-effective method that considers the magnetic saturation by suitable increments in air-gap length under each tooth and also the width of slot openings. In this paper, the analytical and numerical conformal mappings such as the Schwarz-Christoffel (SC) mapping are used for magnetic field analysis due to the permanent magnets and the armature reaction in one slotted air gap. The field solution in the slotted air gap is obtained through the modulation of field solution in one slotless air-gap using the complex air-gap permeance. Findings The ICM method can consider the magnetic saturation in different electric loadings, and also the variation of PM operating points in its different parts. Practical implications The ICM method is applied to one surface mounted permanent magnet (SMPM) motor and is verified by comparing with the corresponding results obtained through finite element method (FEM), and frozen permeability finite element method (FP-FEM). Originality/value This paper presents an ICM method with a new technique for saturation effect modeling, which can be used to separate and calculate the on-load components of air-gap field and torque.

This article introduces the operating principle and structural characteristics of the electromechanical integrated toroidal drive system. For its inner and outer toroidal double-stator structure, the equivalent current method is applied to calculate its spatial magnetic field, which is produced by the sector cylindrical magnetic teeth and the helical variable cross-section magnetic beam. For the application of the equivalent current method in the modeling of the magnetic field, an effective correction method is proposed. The flux density calculation models for the main magnetic field in the inner and outer air gaps are established under the unified coordinate system, and the analytical expression of magnetic field distribution in spatial air gap is deduced. Finally, the feasibility of the mathematical analytical model is verified by comparing the analytical calculation results with the finite element simulation results. The influences of the main structural parameters on the distribution of the air gap magnetic field and the torque are analyzed, which lay a theoretical foundation for the optimal design of the electromechanical integrated toroidal drive system.

Purpose This paper aims to present an analytical method, which combines the complex permeance (CP) and the superposition concept, to predict the air-gap magnetic field distribution in surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) machines with eccentric air-gap. Design/methodology/approach The superposition concept is used twice; first, to predict the magnetic field distribution in slot-less machine with eccentric air-gap, the machine is divided into a number of sections. Then, for each section, an equivalent air-gap length is determined, and the magnetic field distribution is predicted as a concentric machine model. The air-gap field in the slot-less machine with eccentricity can be combined from these concentric models. Second, the superposition concept is used to find the CP under eccentricity fault. At this end, the original machine is divided into a number of sections which may be different from the one for slot-less magnetic field prediction, and for each section, the CP is obtained by equivalent air-gap length of that section. Finally, the air-gap magnetic field distribution is predicted by multiplying the slot-less magnetic field distribution and the obtained CP. Findings The radial and tangential components of the air-gap magnetic flux density are obtained using the proposed method analytically. The finite element analysis is used to validate the proposed method results, showing good agreements with the analytical results. Originality/value This paper addresses the eccentricity fault impact upon the air-gap magnetic field distribution of SMPM machines. This is done by a combined analysis of the complex permeance (CP) method and the superposition concept. This contrasts to previous studies which have instead focused on the subdomain method.
