Improved magnetic behavior of hemicycle PM motor via stator modification

Abstract

This article presents the simple basic sizing approaches to decrease overall weight of motor and improve magnetic characteristics in PM motor. A review on various stator design in PM motor i.e. radial-flux or axial-flux with slotted or non-slotted is presented. As magnetic and electric loading influence the electromagnetic motor performance, modification on stator body are included in investigation for a desired electromagnetic torque performance. Influences of tooth body width sizing and additional stator slots sizing in PM motor equip with hemicycle stator design are carried out. Two designs are included, both having similar semi-circle stator but different in additional slot tooth within and over 180 ○ i.e. Design 2 and 3 respectively. For optimization using 2D-Finite Element Analysis, optimal tooth body sizing and additional stator tooth result the weight significantly reduce by 44%, 5.9 Nm output torque and 30% torque ripple.

Improvised direct torque control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor

“…Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has gained universal acceptance for any application due to its performance. Even though [1] and [2] suggested improving PMSM performance through design modification. In this work, flux performance and weight optimization were forwarded.…”

Design and fabrication of rotor lateral shifting in the axial-flux permanent-magnet generator

“…Moreover, the AFPM motor with two rotors is highly compacted form [19]. The SSDR AFPM structure has advantages on high power density, the rotation of fans around the stators winding is working as a cooling fan for the windings and also applied from the low up to medium power applications [15], [20].…”
