Abstract
- This article presents a comprehensive design methodology to improve the field weakening (FW) operation of low inductance slotless permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs). The proposed concept of using a stator embedded inductor integrated with the torque producing machine windings helps achieve a wide constant power speed range (CPSR) and a desired torque/speed characteristics. Key performance parameters including system efficiency and PWM induced current ripple are summarized for scenarios with and without the embedded inductor in the entire operating range using 2-D finite element analysis. The concept helps to achieve the desirable extended torque/speed range. It also helps to improve the efficiency beyond the base speed operation for a high speed, high power machine. In addition to achieving desired CPSR, this method also helps to reduce the PWM induced current ripple, short circuit current, and current ripple induced core losses. A slotless machine with the integrated embedded inductor has been designed following the proposed design guidelines to extend the CPSR, and a prototype motor has been built to validate the simulation results with the experimental results.
