Abstract:
This study proposes a novel surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (N-SPMSM) structure, which features asymmetric magnets attached to the rotor surface. The N-SPMSM structure exhibits reduced structural complexity and minimal electromagnetic performance degradation. The properties of N-SPMSM are analyzed by comparing its structural complexity (in terms of the shape) and manufacturing complexity and electromagnetic performance [in terms of the cogging-mutual torque ratio and back-electromotive force (EMF) values], with the corresponding values of a ring-type SPMSM (R-SPMSM) and step-skew-type SPMSM (T-SPMSM). The analysis results demonstrate that N-SPMSM has lower shape complexity than T-SPMSM and lower manufacturing complexity than both R-SPMSM and T-SPMSM. The cogging torque reduction and back-EMF performances of N-SPMSM are similar to that of R-SPMSM and T-SPMSM.
