Novel of Cogging Torque Reduction Technique for Permanent Magnet Generator by Compounding of Magnet Edge Shaping and Dummy Slotting in Stator Core

Abstract

This paper dealt with the investigation and implementation of the cogging torque reduction technique in permanent magnet generators with a fractional slot stator/rotor combination of 24 slot/18 pole structure. A novel of cogging torque technique in a permanent magnet generator was developed and proposed in the paper. In the study, the cogging torque reduction technique was based on the compounding of two cogging torque reduction techniques, i.e., the magnet edge shaping with dummy slotting in the stator core of the fractional slot number. By employing the CT reduction technique proposed, effects on the decreasing of tangential flux density in the air gap of the permanent magnet generator, while the normal flux density almost remained constant. The tangential flux density is one important parameter regarding the peak of cogging torque in permanent magnet generator or other electrical machine structure. The normal and tangential flux have been analyzed. The cogging torque of the permanent magnet generator was analyzed and presented in the paper. By compounding both cogging torque reduction techniques, i.e., magnet edge shaping and dummy slotting in stator teeth have been expected to achieve the cogging torque reduction. The electromagnetic performance of the permanent magnet generator was performed using a finite element analysis of FEMM 4.2. It has been proved that by combining of magnet edge shaping and dummy slotting in stator teeth can reduce the cogging torque of permanent magnet generator significantly. It has been found that the cogging torque reduction for the proposed structure around 98.08 % compared with the initial structure.

Two-Steps Slotting Method in Magnet Edge of PMG for Wind Energy Harvesting

“…As a consequence, the meshes and nodes of the machines studied increased dramatically, increasing simulation time compared to fewer dummy lines in the air gaps. Previous reports use FEMM software to analyze permanent-magnet performance, (Nur et al, 2020;Siregar et al, 2020). This software is user-friendly and very powerful for analyzing any complex structure of electric machines.…”

Analysis of the Impact of Magnetic Materials on Cogging Torque in Brushless DC Motor

“…Various investigations on the cogging torque of PMBLDC motors have been performed over the last two decades. Electromagnetic and mechanical methods have been among those employed [13][14][15][16]. Conventional electromagnetic techniques have the drawback of diminishing active magnetic flux, which reduces power output and efficiency.…”

Minimization of Cogging Torque for V-Type IPMSM by the Asymmetric Auxiliary Slots on the Rotor

“…G. Kang put the symmetrical auxiliary slots on the surface of the pole shoe to reduce the cogging torque [7]. T. Nur reduced cogging torque by combining auxiliary slots with magnet edge shaping [8]. C. Peng divided the interior V-type permanent magnet synchronous motor (V-type IPMSM) into two sections from the middle of the axial direction.…”
