In this paper, the magnetic circuit characteristics and the current/torque analysis of a Spoke Type permanent magnet motor have been researched, compared with the SPM Type motor. In the magnetic circuit analysis, the characteristic of air-gap flux density has been analyzed according to the variation of the number of pole and the ratio of magnet height to arc length using finite element method and circuit equations. Moreover, the electromagnetic and the reluctance torque have been analyzed by the current profile, which is obtained from the variation of turn-on angle, and these informative data has been utilized for the overall characteristics of the Spoke Type BLDC motor.

전동기를 설계 시 자기등가회로법은 전동기의 세부 형상에 크게 구애를 받지 않기 때문에, 공간고조파법과 수치해석기법에 비해 유용하다. 이 논문에서는 Spoke type PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)의 회전자 자기등가회로를 설계하였다. 회전자 자기등가회로를 통해, 마그네틱 토크 성분을 구성하는 공극자속밀도 수식을 이끌어 낼 수 있다. 이를 통해, Spoke type PMSM은 마그네틱 토크가 주 토크이기 때문에, 공극 자속밀도 및 형상치수비를 이용하여 전동기의 크기를 계산하였다.

In this paper, a dual-stator, spoke-type linear vernier machine (DSSLVM) for wave energy extraction application was proposed. This machine is capable of producing a competitively high thrust force and force density at a low operation speed in direct drive systems. The operation principal and working of the proposed DSSLVM were studied. The stator core height is adjusted to improve the overall force density of the proposed machine while reducing the force ripple. To evaluate the advantages of the proposed DSSLVM, the main performance was compared with that of a recently developed linear primary permanent magnet vernier machine (LPPMVM). The proposed machine exhibited greater thrust force and force density, an improved power factor and lower force ripple with the same permanent magnet (PM) volume compared to the LPPMVM.

The rare earth output is concentrated in limited number of countries including China. Also the necessity for development of non-rare earth motor is getting signified due to the rapid increase of rare earth price and resource weaponizing policies. Non-rare earth motor is generally designed as spoke type PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) in order to maximize the power density. Such spoke type PMSM has advantage in concentrating the flux but demonstrates lower efficiency compared to permanent magnet using Nd (Neodymium) permanent magnet. Therefore, applications with strong necessity for efficiency need rotor structure having improved efficiency compared to spoke type PMSM. Hence, this study suggested fan-shape type PMSM with somewhat lower power density but maximized efficiency. Fan-shape type PMSM is a rotor shape demonstrating outstanding reduction of iron loss compared to existing spoke type. Thus, this study analyzed the improvement of efficiency and reduction of loss arising from the suggested shape through parameter calculation.

This paper presents a design strategy of SPOKE type BLDC motors considering an irreversible demagnetization of a permanent magnet (PM). So the irreversible demagnetization characteristic of the motor is analyzed by rotor structure. The instantaneous currents in either starting or lock rotor condition, which are calculated from the current dynamic analysis, are applied to the analysis of the irreversible demagnetization field by FEM. In irreversible demagnetization analysis by FEM, the variation of residual flux density in PM is analyzed using the non-linearity of magnetic core on B-H plan. The analysis results are compared to several rotor structures and used for optimize the rotor structure.

The purpose of this paper is characteristic analysis of permanent magnet generator for AVR power of brushless synchronous generator. However, the PMG has a spoke type rotor with overhang, so we perform the analysis considering overhang for the precise airgap flux density. In this paper, dynamic analysis model with 2D FEM considering overhang is proposed by use of 2D, 3D static FEM results. The proposed method is verified by the results of PMG load test.

The purpose of this paper is characteristic analysis of permanent magnet generator (PMG) for automatic voltage regulator (AVR)power of brush less synchronous generator. However, this PMG has a spoke type permanent magnet rotor with large overhang for high power density, characteristic analysis considering concentration effect of air-gap flux density due to the overhang should be performed. 30 transient finite element method (FEM)analysis is good solution for overhang parameter, but this method needs too much calculation time. In this paper, we examined the overhang effects based on overhang length and material of rotor core by using 20 and 30 static FEM analysis, and proposed 20 dynamic FEA model considering overhang parameter which gives good and rapid results. The proposed method is verified by the test results of no load, load and short circuit test.

By reason of variation magnetic field, cogging torque is generated. Cogging torque of Spoke type motor is bigger than other type permanent magnet motor. So, this paper presents a design notch on stator and variation rotor shape to reduce cogging torque of Spoke Type motor. Through Fourier formulation of magnetic field on air gap, we found position of notch. The validity of the proposed design is confirmed with FEM analysis method.

Spoke type의 전동기는 자속이 집중되어 높은 공극자속밀도를 가진다. 뿐만 아니라 spoke type 전동기는 자석의 감자가 다른 타입의 전동기들보다 쉽게 발생한다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에는 자석감자를 고려한 형상설계를 두 개의 설계변수를 이용하여 진행하고, 이 설계변수들에 따른 감자특성을 해석하고자한다.

This study proposes criteria for both optimal-shape and magnetizer-system designs to be used for a high-output spoke-type motor. The study also examines methods of reducing high-cogging torque and torque ripple, to prevent noise and vibration. The optimal design of the stator and rotor can be enhanced using both a response surface method and finite element method. In addition, a magnetizer system is optimally designed for the magnetization of permanent magnets for use in the motor. Finally, this study verifies that the proposed motor can efficiently replace interior permanent magnet synchronous motor in many industries.
