    Analytical formulation for design and optimization of permanent magnet arrays

    No full text
    Rare earth permanent magnet arrays are extensively used in many electromagnetic devices. Their preliminary design can be eased by the analytical approach presented in this paper. It allows a fast evaluation of the flux density distribution and of the winding flux linkage and induced emf as functions of the configuration parameters and therefore can be particularly profitable to optimise the electromagnetic configuration

    Analytical formulation for the torque enhancement of PM single-phase motor by a stator auxiliary magnet and a slotted PM rotor

    No full text
    The paper proposes an analytical formulation to calculate the torque generated by the interaction of two bonded permanent magnet (PM) rings, one of which slotted. Such procedure can be profitably used to improve the starting torque and mitigate both the slot cogging torque and the load torque ripple of single-phase brushless motors, provided with an auxiliary stator PM and a main rotor PM having suitably spaced slots on a portion of its length. The example of application show the benefits of the such arrangement with respect to a conventional PM design

    Automated Procedure for the Performance Improvement of a Low-power Single-phase Synchronous Motor

    No full text
    The performance of a low power line-start single-phase synchronous motor is evaluated via a mathematical model, elaborating the results of an automated sequence of magnetostatic FEM analyses. Such an approach remarkably speeds up the transient simulation with respect to a commercial FEM code for the transient analysis, allowing analysis of the influence of the parametric variations in a reasonable lapse of time. An optimization procedure based on such a technique could be profitably applied to a self-starting single-phase synchronous motor

    Equivalent circuit for the dynamic analysis of a PM synchronous generator/back-to-back converter drive for VAWT applications

    No full text
    The paper presents an equivalent circuit summing up both the dynamics of the drive kinematic train and the quasi-steady state electric behaviour of a wind generation drive based on a vertical axis wind turbine gearlessly coupled to a permanent magnet synchronous generator, interfaced to the main grid by a back-to-back converter. By the implementation of this circuit in the Simulink® environment, it is possible to analyze both the steady-state operation and the mechanical transients due the wind turbulence. In particular, a sensorless configuration for the maximum power point tracking is considered. In the example of application, the influence of different control architectures and converter structures on the system performance (i.e, effectiveness of the angular speed control, rms armature current, energy yield) is investigated

    A Magnetic Network Approach to the Transient Analysis of Syncronous Machines

    Full text link
    The technique for the simulation of the dynamic behaviour of rotating machines presented in the paper is based on an equivalent circuit representation of the magnetic configuration. The circuit parameters are obtained by a preliminary automated sequence of magnetostatic FEM analyses and take into account the local magnetic saturations. The adopted solution technique is based on an invariant network topology approach: its application, here presented for the operation analysis of a low-power synchronous generator, allows a great reduction of the calculation time in comparison with a commercial FEM code for the transient simulation
