Compared to conventional stranded wire windings, increased eddy current losses may occur in the hairpin winding when the conductors are exposed to time varying magnetic fields. Although the additional losses due to the induced eddy currents are a well known phenomenon, classical calculation approaches reach their limits as soon as ferromagnetic material with nonlinear properties and complex shapes need to be considered. An accurate but time-consuming estimation consists of time-transient quasi-stationary finite element analysis (FEA). More efficiently, the induced eddy currents can be calculated by separating the conductors into parallel filaments following the partial equivalent electrical circuit (PEEC)approach. As long as linear material characteristics are prevailing; thus the problem can be solved in the frequency domain. In this paper, we propose the application of an hybrid FEA-PEEC modeling approach to estimate the eddy current losses in the conductors of a hairpin winding traction motor. For the proposed approach, the resulting linear system is solved in the frequency domain by direct solvers. To emphasize the benefit and the strength of the approach, a study case motor model is analysed and the results are assessed regarding the accuracy and the calculation time.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132113375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design concept of “asymmetrical magnet arrangement” is introduced to achieve a magnet-axis-shifting (MAS) effect, namely, the PM d-axis is shifted to make PM and reluctance torque components maximize at the same current angle. Consequently, the resultant torque is improved without increasing magnet usage. The machine topology and MAS effect are first introduced, respectively. In addition, the design optimization is performed to maximize the total torque capability. The electromagnetic characteristics of the proposed HP-IPM machine are investigated and compared with those of the reference conventional IPM machine with similar sizing and PM usage, which confirms the feasibility of the proposed HP design for the torque performance improvement.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126469487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need to enhance power density and lowering costs leads to the design of high speed motors with a reduced amount of rare earth. Pure synchronous reluctance motors potentially operate at high speed and exhibit a low cost rotor compared to PM and induction motors. Nevertheless, they present reduced performances in deep flux weakening operations in particular when the so-called radial ribs are introduced to increase the mechanical robustness of the rotor. In this paper the adoption of the radial ribs in the related design challenges are investigated and discussed. The adoption of a suitable commercial optimization tool able to optimize the placement and the sizing of the radial ribs is presented. The approach leads to an original positioning of the radial ribs able to preserve the performances of the motor at high operating speed enhancing the mechanical integrity of the rotor.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133643888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analytical approaches, in combination with numerical ones, enable accurate estimation of the motor cooling condition while keeping the computation time within a reasonable range. CFD calculations provide boundary conditions and heat transfer evaluation of the airflow inside the motor for developed finite element and lumped approach models where the most temperature sensitive parts are located. Several thermal and flow measurements are carried out on a 245 kW open self-ventilated induction motor to evaluate accuracy of different components of the optimization procedure.

The induction machine (IM) offers a cost-effective and reliable alternative to permanent magnet-based solutions. A fixed pole IM's high torque requirement at low speed sacrifices its performance at partial loads and high speeds. A variable-pole IM has an additional degree of freedom which is the pole count. This paper uses a variable pole count to improve IM performance over a wide torque and speed range. An approach to select the best pole configuration for a given operation strategy is presented. For illustration, a maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) strategy is used on a 36-slot toroidally wound IM. Variable-pole operation increases the torque capability of the machine and enlarges its high efficiency region to a wide speed range. The analytical results provide guidelines for designing and operating a variable-pole machine tailored for this application.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131674735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
