Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is widely used in industrial production and automation. Its stator runs with a three-phase difference alternating current, while its rotor is a permanent magnet. The PMSM features several dominant advantages compared to other asynchronous motors, such as higher efficiency, higher torque performance, reduced size and weight, more reliability, less noise, etc. The PMSM thus has received great favor in applications such as wind energy generation, electrical vehicles, aerospace, etc. The advanced design of the PMSM structure, the material development of the permanent flux, and new control schemes are key approaches to improving the PMSM’s efficiency and reliability. This Special Issue serves this purpose with the objective to collect the latest innovations in PMSM design, operation, and control methodologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Systematic physical structure design and development for the PMSM;
  2. Multi-physics analysis, modeling, and design for the integrated inverter-fed PMSM;
  3. Optimized control strategies for various inverter topologies for PMSM applications;
  4. Application of wide-bandgap devices with inverters for PMSM applications;
  5. Optimal design and system-level integration of PMSM operations, etc.;
  6. Resilient control and fault-tolerant operation of the PMSM.

The PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) is being studied a lot in traction motors for high efficiency and high performance. Usually, magnets containing rare earth elements are used. However, since rare earth elements are not suitable for future industries due to their limited reserves, many studies on magnets excluding rare earth elements are being conducted. Magnets excluding rare earth elements have a low coercive force and are vulnerable to irreversible demagnetization, so their design must be robust. Additionally, the design used for reducing the cogging torque, which is a major variable of traction motors, is also important. Therefore, in this study, a design process for reducing irreversible demagnetization and cogging torque is proposed. There are three methods for this process. The first one is the application of the tapering structure, and the second one is the tapering skew structure. The third one is the application of an asymmetric air hole. As a result of these methods, the target irreversible demagnetization ratio was satisfied and the cogging torque was reduced. This was proven through FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and verified by comparing and analyzing the experimental results and simulation results of actual manufacturing. Full article

This paper addresses the active torque ripple compensation of a permanent magnet brushless direct-current motor (PMBLDC) drive with a new pulse width modulation (PWM) technique and advance angle method. Torque ripple is a well-known problem in BLDC motors which is produced by a discrepancy between the stator current and the back electromotive force (back-emf) waveforms. The advanced angle method proposed in this paper generates a maximum torque in the PM BLDC motor by decreasing the displacement between the phase voltage and phase current in proportion to the load. Further, a simple and comprehensive PWM-PWM logic is proposed in this paper to reduce the torque ripples. The test results show that the BLDC motor drive achieves good steady-state performance while maintaining a quick dynamic response. The performance of the PWM-PWM logic and advance angle method, have been tested and compared with the practical results for the characteristics of DC bus voltage, DC bus current, electromagnetic torque, shaft torque, mechanical torque, phase voltage, phase current and PWM signal.
