This paper presents a comparison of core losses for the four cases of Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) with different winding method and switching sequence. With concentrated winding SRM, two kinds of switching sequence are considered for one-phase exciting and two-phase simultaneously exciting driving. With both distributed winding and toroidal winding, two-phase exciting driving is considered. The ratio of calculated core losses to input power is able to be used a guide or reference for deciding the winding method and switching sequence of in the initial design stage of SRM.

This paper investigates magnetic field behavior and its iron losses in the stator core using electrical steels. The analysis model is a brushless motor with the permanent magnet. The elliptical rotating and alternating flux distributions with non-sinusoidal waveforms are obtained by Finite Element Method and then their harmonic components are extracted. Based on these results, the local iron losses in the stator core caused by the harmonic flux are calculated. Furthmore, this paper explains the relation between the complex flux waveform and iron loss produced in each part of the stator core.

Two axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines using soft magnetic composite (SMC) and lamination steel are studied. Generally stator cores of AFPM machines are manufactured using SMC because AFPM machines need 3 dimensional core structures. However, SMC cores have very disadvantages in magnetic properties. Especially permeability value is much lower than that of lamination steel, so magnetic field density is also lower. In terms of core losses, SMC cores have much larger loss values than lamination steel cores because SMC core can't be laminated. In this study, AFPM machine was designed using laminated steel, and iron losses in two machines using SMC and laminated steel were studied. Simulations were carried out by a commercial 3-D FEM tool.

To predict efficiency of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors(IPMSM) and to cope with the demagnetization risk of permanent magnets used in the IPMSM, accurate iron analysis of the IPMSM is very important at the motor design stage. In the analysis, we calculate the operation condition such as rotor speed and current angle. and then, we analyzed the iron loss of the machine for electric vehicle according to its driving condition. From the analysis results, it was shown that the harmonic iron losses of stator are larger than before at field-weakening region. In addition, it was revealed that rotor iron loss mainly induced by stator slot-ripples is independent of current angle and only varied according to the speed.

To predict efficiency of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors(IPMSM) and to cope with the demagnetization risk of permanent magnets used in the IPMSM, accurate iron analysis of the IPMSM is very important at the motor design stage. In the analysis, we developed a new iron loss model of electrical machines for high-speed operation. The calculated iron loss was compared with the experimental data. It was clarified that the proposed method can estimate iron loss effectively at high-speed operation.

The use of soft magnetic materials have been increasing in the various industrial fields according to the increasing demand for high performance, automatic, miniaturing equipments in the recent our life. In this study, we investigated the effect of factors on the core loss and magnetic properties of electrical steel and soft magnetic composites. Furthermore, we reviewed the major efforts to reduce the core loss and improve the soft magnetic properties in the two main soft magnetic materials. Domain purification which results from reduced density of defects in cleaner electrical steels is combined with large grains to reduce hysteresis loss. The reduced thickness and the high electrical conductivity reduce the eddy current component of loss. Furthermore, the coating applied to the surface of electrical steel and texture control lead to improve high permeability and low core loss. There is an increasing interest in soft magnetic composite materials because of the demand for miniaturization of cores for power electronic applications. The SMC materials have a broad range of potential applications due to the possibility of true 3-D electromagnetic design and higher frequency operation. Grain size, sintering temperature, and the degree of porosity need to be carefully controlled in order to optimize structure-sensitive properties such as maximum permeability and low coercive force. The insulating coating on the powder particles in SMCs eliminates particle-to-particle eddy current paths hence minimizing eddy current losses, but it reduces the permeability and to a small extent the saturation magnetization. The combination of new chemical composition with optimum powder manufacturing processes will be able to result in improving the magnetic properties in soft magnetic composite materials, too.

This paper presents the optimal permanent magnet shape on the rotor of an interior permanent magnet motor to reduce the core losses and improve the performance. As permanent magnet has conductivity inherently, it causes huge amount of eddy current losses by the slot harmonics with concentrated winding. This loss is roughly 100 times larger than that of distributed winding in high speed operation and it cannot be ignored, especially on traction motors. Each eddy current loss on permanent magnet has been investigated in detail by using FEM(Finite Element Method) instead of EMCNM(Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method) in order to consider saturation and non-linear magnetic property. Simulation-based DOE(Design Of Experiment) is also applied to avoid large number of analyses according to each design parameter and consider expected interactions among parameters. Consequently, the optimal design to reduce the core loss on the permanent magnet while maintaining or improving motor performance is proposed by an optimization algorithm using regression equation derived and lastly, the core loss reduction on the proposed shape of the permanent magnet is verified by FEM.

수명이 짧은 전해 캐패시터 대신 필름 캐패시터를 링크 캐패시터로 가지는 컨버터의 경우, 매우 넓은 입력 전압 범위를 가질 수 밖에 없다. 일반적인 넓은 입력 범위를 가지는 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 경우, 변압기 인덕터($L_M$) 값을 작게 하여 순환 전류가 커지도록 설계될 수 밖에 없고, 이는 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 더 큰 도통 손실 및 더 큰 turn-off 손실을 야기하여 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 변환 효율을 감소시키게 된다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 공진 인덕터에 보조 권선을 감소, 추가 스위치를 이용하여 입력 범위에 따라 공진 주파수($f_O$)를 변경할 수 있는 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 $L_M$ 값을 키워 정상 상태 시 도통 손실 및 turn-off 손실을 줄여 효율을 개선할 수 있으며, 낮은 입력 시 보조 스위치를 이용, $f_O$ 변경을 통하여 추가적인 Gain을 얻으면서 공진 인덕터의 철손을 줄여 넓은 입력 범위를 커버하면서 높은 변환 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 제안하는 컨버터는 간단한 제어 방법과 낮은 전류 스펙을 가지는 작은 스위치를 사용할 수 있어 전력 밀도 증가를 최소화하면서 높은 효율을 가져갈 수 있다는 장점을 가진다.

온라인 전기버스용 전동기는 차량의 운전특성을 고려하여 가속성 향상을 위한 높은 기동토크가 요구되며, 넓은 속도영역 운전을 위한 약계자 제어성능이 우수해야 한다. 특히 전동기의 최대 동작속도가 배터리 전압에 의해 결정되므로, 고속 운전영역 확보를 위해 전압제한을 고려한 전기설계가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 정격속도 대비 최대속도의 비가 1:4로서 넓은 약계자 영역이 요구되는 온라인 전기버스용 전동기에 대해 개념설계를 진행하여 Active Part의 치수를 산출하고, 고정자 권선의 턴수 및 회전자 형상 변화에 따른 전압 및 출력특성을 비교 분석하여, 온라인 전기버스용 전동기에 요구되는 약계자 제어특성을 만족하도록 설계안을 도출하였다. 또한 전동기의 고속 동작시 주 손실인 철손에 의한 온도상승을 고려하여 영구자석의 감자안정성을 분석하였으며, 전자장 FEM 해석을 적용하여 설계결과의 타당성을 검증하였다.

최근 화석 연료 사용으로 인한 대기 오염과 자원 고갈이 심각한 사회적 문제로 대두되면서 엔진 구동 시스템에서 전동기 구동 시스템으로의 차량의 패러다임 변화가 급격히 요구되고 있으며, 이런 추세는 고성능 군용 차량도 예외는 아니다. 그 안에 포함되는 핵심 부품인 견인용 전동기는 고토크, 고출력, 전 운전 범위의 고효율화 등의 운전 특성을 만족시키기 위해 IPMSM을 사용하는 것이 가장 적합하나, 마그네틱 토크뿐 아니라 릴럭턴스 토크까지 사용하며 파라미터의 비선형적 특성 등으로 인해 설계에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 IPMSM의 2D-인덕턴스, 3D-철손, 4D-전압의 비선형 데이터 세트를 이용한 운전시뮬레이션을 통해 제어시 필요한 전류-토크 테이블 및 정확도 높은 효율맵을 구성하였으며, 시작품을 통해 결과의 타당성을 검증한다.
