Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Permanent magnet machines exhibit high torque density and high efficiency and have been extensively researched and developed for the conversion of electromagnetic energy. Propulsion and renewable energy applications still rely heavily on them.

This Special Issue explores all novel aspects of PMSMs, especially in terms of modeling, design, optimization, numerical methods, and experimental validation. The applications are mainly focused on electric propulsion and renewable energy generation systems. We welcome original research articles, as well as reviews, for this Special Issue.

The following topics are of particular interest:

  • Novel topologies of PMSMs;
  • Multi-physics design and modeling of PMSMs;
  • High power density/high efficiency/high reliability design of PMSMs;
  • Fault tolerance design of PMSMs;
  • An application of artificial intelligence to the design of PMSMs.

Obtaining an optimal motor design is not always a simple task, considering that it involves designing a model with many interrelated parameters, where each modification significantly affects the motor’s performance characteristics. This paper analyses numerous synchronous motor models with embedded magnets of spoke-type, obtained by varying several parameters (magnets and motor length, magnets width, and number of conductors per slot) within defined limits in a software module optimetric analysis. Each combination of these varied parameters results in a different motor model with corresponding performance characteristics. From the obtained models, the best solutions are identified, i.e., combinations of parameters that result in high efficiency while simultaneously minimizing the consumption of magnetic material and reducing cogging torque. The conducted analysis revealed that there is more than one model that can be considered as optimal, especially when considering multiple objectives, such as high efficiency, low magnetic material consumption, reduced dimensions, and low cogging torque. The application of optimetric analysis also enables the execution of a sensitivity analysis, examining the impact of each varied parameter on the corresponding objective function. The presented methodology offers the designer a range of solutions that can be identified as optimal, providing greater flexibility in the construction of appropriate prototypes. Full article

This paper sets forth a thorough procedure to design surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous generators. Since synchronous generators generate the majority of electrical energy, their relevance in society nowadays is substantial. As a consequence, the methodology to design these electrical machines also holds great importance. However, even though a considerable amount of works addresses the matter, it is difficult to find a complete and thoroughly explained design procedure. The proposed method is based on analytical equations to fully consider PM generator fundamentals with a few simplifications, which implies in a considerable number of design equations and parameters. Differently from most papers on the design of PM synchronous generators, a significant level of detail and explanation is presented, all design choices are discussed, and the suggested ranges for the design parameters are shown. This results in a straightforward procedure that allows non-experienced designers to easily replicate the results and effectively enhance the comprehension of permanent magnet synchronous machines, and provides a guideline for researchers from other fields who may need to understand and perform a synchronous generator design. To show the effectiveness of the proposed design procedure, a PM generator is designed, and the results are compared with a finite element simulation, showing good accuracy. Full article
