Analytical Sub-Domain Model for Magnetic Field Computation in Segmented Permanent Magnet Switched Flux Consequent Pole Machine

초록

Computational complexity, magnetic saturation, complex stator structure and time consumption due to repeated iteration compels researchers to adopt alternate analytical model for initial design of electric machines especially Switched Flux Machine (SFM). To overcomes the abovesaid demerits, In this article alternate analytical sub-domain model (SDM) for magnetic field computation in Segmented PM switched flux consequent pole machine (SPMSFCPM) with flux bridge and flux barriers accounting boundary and interface conditions, radial magnetized PMs (RM-PMs) and circumferential magnetized PMs (CM-PMs), interaction between stator slots and inner/outer rotor topologies is proposed. Overall field domain is divided into air gap, stator slots and Permanent Magnet (PM) accounting influence of CM/RM-PMs under no-load and on-load conditions. Analytical expression of field domain is obtained by solving magnetic vector potential utilizing Maxwell's equations. Based on the magnetic field computation especially no-load and on-load condition, Magnetic Flux Density (MFD) components, open-circuit flux linkage, mechanical torque and cogging torque are computed utilizing Maxwell Stress Tensor (MST) method. Moreover, developed analytical SDM is validated with globally accepted Finite Element Analysis (FEA) utilizing JMAG Commercial FEA Package v. 18.1 which shows good agreement with accuracy of similar to 98%. Hence, authors are confident to propose analytical SDM for initial design of SPMSFCPM to suppress computation time and complexity and eliminate requirements of expensive hardware and software tools.
