This paper presents a study on the design parameters that consider the magnetic saturation effect in a rotor core of a synchronous reluctance motor. Two important design parameters in a rotor are selected to analyze the saturation effect of a synchronous reluctance motor, particularly in a rotor core. The thickness of the main segment, which is the main path of the d-axis flux, and the end rip, which affects the q-axis flux, are analyzed using the d-axis and q-axis inductances. Moreover, the characteristics of torque and torque ripple when magnetic saturation takes place are analyzed. The saturation effect is verified by comparing the reluctance torque between the experiment and FEM simulation.

본 논문에서는 매입형 영구자석 동기전동기의 정지 시 위치센서 없이 회전자의 초기 위치를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 자기적 포화에 의한 인덕턴스 변화를 이용하여 비교적 간단히 회전자의 초기 위치를 추정한다. 최소의 전압 벡터들을 인가하여 인덕턴스의 차이에 대응한 전류를 측정하여 회전자의 위치와 극성을 정확하게 판별할 수 있다. 제한된 방법은 추가적인 하드웨어가 필요하지 않으며, 전동기 파라미터에 영향을 받지 않고 전압벡터를 최소로 인가하여 측정할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper propose a method to detect the rotor position of IPMSM(Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor) at standstill without a position sensor. The proposed method is based on current variation caused by the magnetic saturation of stator core as rotor position. By choosing an appropriate voltage vector and applying it to phase winding, it enables the algorithm to discern between a north pole and south pole, and subsequently estimates an absolute position. This method dose not depend on the model of the motor and the motor parameter.

An inverter-driven induction motor is used as the traction motor for a high speed drive system that required safety, reliabillity, performance, compact size owing to the space and weight alloted for attaching to train, etc. particularly it is possible to happen the saturation effects of flux density at constant voltage-frequency region and then increase very higher than the at lowed capacity of no-load current and temperature in any case. therefore the optimum design of core, optimum voltage-frequency ratio, adoption of high grade magnetic core have been developed and researched for preventing these problems. this paper show the saturation effects of traction rotor by measuring the induced voltage of search coil at stator teeth and presents optimum voltage-frequency ratio as well as optimum core design through the comparison with efficiency, power factor, load current and no-load current for korea high speed train.

Torque ripple is necessarily generated in interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) due to the non-sinusoidal distribution of flux density in the air gap and the magnetic reluctance by stator slots. This paper deals with an asymmetric rotor shape to reduce torque ripple which can make sinusoidal flux density distribution in the air gap. Meanwhile the average torque is relatively increased by the asymmetric rotor. Response surface method (RSM) is applied to find the optimum position of the permanent magnets for the IMPSM with improved torque performance. Consequently, an asymmetric structure is the result of RSM and the structure has disadvantage of a mechanical stiffness. Finally, the performance of suggested shape is verified by finite element analysis and structural analysis is conducted for the mechanical stiffness.

The precise and reliable loss model for induction motor and converter system is very important in order to predict the efficiency performance of variable speed drives. This paper proposes an accurate loss model of induction motor and converter system. The motor losses, such as stator and rotor copper loss, core loss and stray loss, are considered for fundamental and harmonic frequencies. Also considered are the skin effect on rotor resistance, temperature effect on bath stator and rotor resistance, magnetizing inductance saturation, and friction and windage loss. All the above features are incorporated in a synchronous frame dynamic d-q equivalent circuit. The converter system, consisting of a diode rectifier and PWM transistor inverter, is modeled accurately for conduction and switching losses. Validity of the models, in both steady state and transient conditions, is verified by simulations.

In this paper, a new type of step motor with two degree of mechanical freedom, which is named rotary-Linear Step Motor(RLSM), is presented. Its rotor axis can perform linear and rotary motions either separately or simultaneously. This paper discribes the design of RLSM using finite element method in which the magnetic saturation effect of the iron core is taken into account. The design parameters such as torques, forces and inductances are obtained from the computed magnetic vector potentials. A new type of Rotary-Linear Step Motor was constructed. The calculated parameters agree well with measurements.

A SRM develops its torque according to the inductance variation as the rotor position and the phase current. The variation of the inductance and the phase current plays an important role in output characteristics. Predicting and calculating the inductance is invaluable in the study of SRM. This paper suggests the estimation method of inductance as variation of phase current and rotor position considering magnetic saturation of motor core. This method is also applied to full-pitched winding SRM.

In designing reluctance motor, it is important to know the flux distribution of the inside of the motor. The reluctance motor which has axially laminated anisotropic(a.l.a.) rotor was proved to have high efficiency. To analyze this motor, it needs to consider the anisotropic characteristic of the rotor. This paper shows the flux distribution of the a.l.a. reluctance motor by finite element method (FEM) considering the anisotropic characteristic and the saturation of the core. And this paper shows the static torque for the variation of the stator dimension. This will be helpful to design the a.l.a. switched reluctance motor.

This paper presents the optimal permanent magnet shape on the rotor of an interior permanent magnet motor to reduce the core losses and improve the performance. As permanent magnet has conductivity inherently, it causes huge amount of eddy current losses by the slot harmonics with concentrated winding. This loss is roughly 100 times larger than that of distributed winding in high speed operation and it cannot be ignored, especially on traction motors. Each eddy current loss on permanent magnet has been investigated in detail by using FEM(Finite Element Method) instead of EMCNM(Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method) in order to consider saturation and non-linear magnetic property. Simulation-based DOE(Design Of Experiment) is also applied to avoid large number of analyses according to each design parameter and consider expected interactions among parameters. Consequently, the optimal design to reduce the core loss on the permanent magnet while maintaining or improving motor performance is proposed by an optimization algorithm using regression equation derived and lastly, the core loss reduction on the proposed shape of the permanent magnet is verified by FEM.
