The performance characteristics of PM machines are strongly influenced by the PMs used in their structure. Accordingly, one of the most important PM machine faults is the demagnetisation fault which arises due to the physical, operational, and environmental conditions or their combination. This can result in damage to the functional characteristics of the machine. In this paper, the main topologies of PM machines, including the PM synchronous machines, the brushless DC motors, and the flux modulation machines, are first reviewed. Subsequently, the techniques for detecting demagnetisation faults in PM machines are then reviewed and summarised.

Torque ripple reduction in reluctance motors has been studied since their invention in the 1950s, but the effectiveness of any such reduction methods remain controversial. Significant reductions in TR remain necessary to make the SRM more applicable for industrial use. The main objective of this study is to propose a new configuration of the SRM which greatly reduces TR and has low manufacturing costs. Although this new structure greatly reduces the TR, like most previous research, some aspects such as drive control and design optimisation methods could be used to more obviously reduce TR.

To solve the problem of high-frequency noise and loss, a pseudo-random high-frequency injection method considering parameter variation is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the signal injection form was adjusted to expand the power spectral density of the high-frequency current, and the current energy spike was suppressed to reduce high-frequency noise. Secondly, the current demodulation was combined with the flux map model to complete the injection voltage amplitude adjustment, so that the response current was kept constant under multiple operating conditions to reduce the high-frequency loss. At the same time, the flux map model is applied to the observer to reduce the rotor position estimation error caused by the cross-coupling effect. Under the condition of satisfying the dynamic and steady performance requirements of sensorless control, the high-frequency loss and sharp noise caused by the high-frequency injection method are effectively suppressed.
