Monitoring critical temperatures in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) is essential to prevent device failures or excessive motor life-time reduction due to thermal stress. A lumped-parameter thermal network (LPTN) consisting of four nodes is designed to model the most important motor parts, i.e., the stator yoke, stator winding, stator teeth, and the permanent magnets. An empirical approach...
Electric drive systems, which include electric machines and power electronics, are a key enabling technology for advanced vehicle propulsion systems that reduce the petroleum dependence of the ground transportation sector. To have significant effect, electric drive technologies must be economical in terms of cost, weight, and size while meeting performance and reliability expectations. This paper...
High-speed multi-megawatt permanent-magnet machines have been proposed in the literature and offered for sale in a variety of petro-chemical applications. Presently, the discussion of synchronous machines in both IEEE Std 115 and American Petroleum Institute (API) 546 exclude consideration of permanent-magnet synchronous machines. These machines pose special problems when attempting to apply the test...
Solar powered aircraft require electric drives for the main propulsion system. It is critical that these drives provide both very high efficiency and low mass. This paper describes a permanent magnet machine drive, developed specifically for this application. The machine uses 6% silicon steel laminations to achieve very low iron loss, combined with a high pole number to minimize mass. The system has...
