Torque Performance Analysis of Asymmetric Magnetic Pole Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for New Energy Vehicles

Abstract

In view of the problem of large torque ripple and poor output performance of permanent magnet synchronous motor, a new topology of asymmetric magnetic pole permanent magnet synchronous motor is proposed, and the torque ripple of this motor structure and the suppression method are analyzed. First, the equivalent magnetic circuit method and Lorentz force law are used to derive the analytical formula of torque ripple of the motor. Then, based on the analytical formula, the parameters of permanent magnet of the asymmetric magnetic pole permanent magnet synchronous motor are optimized and verified by finite element software simulation; on this basis, the method of rotor eccentricity is used to further weaken the torque ripple of the motor, and the optimal eccentricity distance is analyzed. The research shows that when the parameters of the magnetic pole of the asymmetric magnetic pole permanent magnet synchronous motor is appropriate, the harmonic content of the air gap magnetic density of the optimized motor is greatly reduced, and the motor has good output characteristics, and the torque ripple is reduced to 5.4%. Finally, the prototype is trial-manufactured and tested. The results show that after optimization, the cogging torque of the motor is reduced, the torque output performance is improved, and the overall motor performance is improved. © 2024 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.
