Abstract
- This paper describes an analytical model for computing the rotor eddy-current losses in the case of permanent magnet synchronous machines, based on a formal resolution of Maxwell’s equations. We focus on the computation of the eddy currents in the machine magnets, in which the diffusion equation is analytically solved, using an accurate electromagnetic model of the stator slotting. The model originality lies in its capacity of taking into account both the diffusion phenomenon and the magnet’s finite length over the pole pitch, imposing that the total current over the magnet’s surface should be zero at each instant. This important problem is studied by solving a Fredholm integral equation. A validation using a 2-D time-stepping finite-element model is also performed, and the obtained losses are shown to be in good agreement with those given by the analytical method, for a shorter computation time.
