This paper proposes a novel skewed-type iron slot wedge that can improve both the cogging torque and the output power of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). Generally the open slot structure is adopted in a PMSG due to its convenient winding work, but the high cogging torque is undesired. Firstly, an iron slot wedge was utilized to reduce the cogging torque of an open slot type PMSG. However, the output power of the machine decreased rapidly with this method. Thus, a proposed skewed type iron slot wedge is presented to improve the output power as well as the cogging torque as compared to the open slot type. Shape optimization of the skewed-type iron slot wedge is performed to simultaneously maximize the output power and reduce the cogging torque. The Kriging model based on the Halton sequence method and a genetic algorithm are used to optimize the design.

This paper suggests the slot wedge shape for reducing the cogging torque of a gearless type direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator with open slot shape. To achieve this, we are designed the appropriate specifications of the permanent magnet synchronous generator by selected the appropriate material of slot wedge and various slot wedge shapes. The PMSG models were analyzed by finite element method. Finally, we have suggested appropriate material of slot wedges and its shape which has benefit to further reducing cogging torque and preventing decreasing of the generating power.

This paper suggests the slot wedge shape for reducing the cogging torque of a direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator for a bike. To consider easy coil winding, we applied a structure of open slot for the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). Because the cogging torque of PWSG with the open slot is very large, we are designed the appropriate specifications of the PMSG by selected the appropriate material of slot wedge and various slot wedge shapes. The prototype model is selected by design theory for reducing cogging torque and maximizing efficiency of PMSG. And the detailed structure design of the model was designed by the loading distribution method. The PMSG models were analyzed by finite element method. Finally, we have suggested appropriate material of slot wedges and its shape which has benefit to further reducing cogging torque and preventing decreasing of the generating power.

This study focuses on the effects of using open stator slots in an interior permanent magnet traction motor with a magnetic slot wedge design in order to increase the power density at its base speed. In addition, such a configuration reduces the torque ripple under field-weakening conditions. Five different wedge models were selected, each of which was evaluated using a finite element analysis (FEA). Based on the initial model, we designed magnetic slot wedges for maximum back-EMF and minimum cogging torque. In addition, the d-q axis inductance was slightly altered due to the magnetic slot wedges. Finally, we analyzed the performance of a traction machine under field weakening control. Moreover, we have outlined the requirements for an ideal magnetic slot wedge design.

본 논문에서는 air substrate를 이용하여 웨지 모양의 방사 패치에 슬롯을 부가하여 이중 대역 특성을 갖는 안테나에 관하여 연구하였다. 웨지 모양으로 경사진 형태의 air substrate 안테나는 대역폭을 증가시킬 수 있으며, 급전 프로브의 길이가 짧아지므로 긴 프로브 급전에서 발생되는 리액턴스 성분을 줄일 수 있다. 또한, 방사 패치에 위치한 슬롯은 사용 주파수에 따라 리액턴스 성분이 변하게 되므로 안테나의 공진 주파수가 변하게 되며, 이로서 이중 대역(셀룰러 대역과 PCS 대역) 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 안테나의 대역폭, 입력 임피던스 등에 영향을 미치는 슬롯의 길이와 위치는 시뮬레이션을 통해 최적치를 얻었으며, 안테나를 제작하여 실험한 결과 -10 dB 대역폭은 셀룰러 대역과 PCS 대역 등 두 대역을 만족하였고, -15 dB 수준의 교차 편파 특성을 보였다. 이러한 결과들로써 본 연구에서 제안된 안테나는 셀룰러 대역과 PCS 대역의 기지국 안테나로서 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Magnetic wedge is proposed for improving the motor performance and to reduce the ripple of air gap flux. Carter's coefficient plays very important role when the ampere turns or exciting current is calculated. In this paper, we calculate the Carter's coe. by FEM taking into account the magnetic anisotropy of magnetic wedge in simple manner and analyze the effect of the wedge. And we analyze the slot leakage flux according to the wedge property.

This paper presents the methods in improving the efficiency using of magnet wedge. After the energy crises of 1970's, more emphasis was placed on higher efficiencies. Efficiency of an induction motor can be improved by reducing the total losses, copper, losses, iron or core losses etc. However high efficiency designs result, in larger size and cost than standard motors. In the methods of the reducing the losses, ripple losses of slot flux can be reduced by using the magnet wedge, but the starting torque decrease by means of increasing of leakage reactance.

During normal operation, partial discharge(PD) tests were performed using turbine generator analyzer(TGA) in high voltage motor. Epoxy-mica couplers are installed at motor terminal and analyzed PD signal using TGA. #A motor stator insulation is good because small partial discharges are detected PD pattern show that PD occurs in insulation. PD of #B motor is larger than that of #A motor and PD pattern show that positive PD larger than negative PD. It means that PD occurs between insulation and slot. And A phase PD magnitude of #B motor is large and high compare with any other phase. Therefore wedge, core and slot of #B motor need to check and repair.
