Parameterization and Performance of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Vehicle Based on Motor-CAD and OptiSLang

Abstract

With the popularity of electric vehicles, electric vehicles have become a hot research topic, and the performance of permanent magnet synchronous motor has become increasingly prominent in recent years. Therefore, the application of permanent magnet synchronous motor in electric vehicles has become a possibility. Based on the analysis of the existing permanent magnet synchronous motor technology for electric vehicles, this paper will start from the motor body design. In this paper, the performance parameters of permanent magnet synchronous motor meeting the requirements of vehicle operation are estimated by analyzing the parameters of electric vehicle, and the motor is modeled based on the motor design software Motor-CAD. In this paper, the parametric analysis module in the software is used to optimize the parameters of motor permanent magnet, stator slot width, air gap magnetic density, and air gap length. Finally, this paper uses OptiSLang software to simulate and analyze the permanent magnet synchronous motor. It improves the driving performance of automobile motor and reduces energy consumption, so that the permanent magnet synchronous motor can better meet the requirements of electric vehicles. The experimental results show that the optimal range of motor split ratio is large, in the range of 0.85~0.9.

On the Usefulness of Employing ANSYS Motor-CAD Software in Designing Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines

“…By using the gained experience in using this software product, a comparative study on diverse PMSM topologies was performed. Four PMSMs having the same stator and permanent magnet quantities but different rotor structures were compared from diverse points of view [46][47][48]. The main aim of this study was to find out whether the other three PMSMs exceed the performances of the initial variant having surface-mounted permanent magnets.…”
