This study investigates the dynamic characteristics of Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM), with segmental rotor structure, using finite element method in which the moving mesh technique is considered. The focus of this paper is the efficiency of on-line parameter identification system for position sensorless control of a SynRM considering saturation and iron loss. Comparisons are given with angle of the observer and those of proposed FEM & Preisach model of synchronous reluctance motor, respectively. The position sensorless control using identified motor parameters is realized, and the efficiency of the on-line parameter identification system is verified by experimental results.

The line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor has a high efficiency and an advantage in constant speed operation regardless of the effect of load variation. However it is difficult to predict the performance of characteristics accurately, because of the unbalanced starting torque with the initial starting position of the rotor and the generation of a break torque. In this paper the dynamic characteristics of the line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor are described and compared with those of the squirrel-cage induction motor through the simulation to find the characteristics of the permanent magnets and the rotor bars in the line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor.

The double excited induction motor has two sets of three-phase system : One is connected to the ac source to take care of energy convertion, and the other is to the inverter controlable frequency and/or magnitude of voltage, both of the induction mode and the synchronous mode are possible in double excitation motor, and the proposed double excitation motor can be driven as a synchronous motor by the extra three-phase input. At the synchronous mode the efficiency is improved so higher than that at induction mode or induction motor. The rating of the inverter used for speed control can be reduced upto one-fifth of that for conventional induction motor. Also the cost and maintenance fee of double excitation induction motor can be reduced compared to any other motors.

By having accurate knowledge of the magnetic field distribution and the thrust calculation in linear synchronous motors, assessing the performance and optimization of the motor design are possible. In this paper, after carrying out a performance analysis of a single-sided wound secondary linear synchronous motor by varying the motor design parameters in a layer model and a d-q model, machine single- and multi-objective design optimizations are carried out to improve the thrust density of the motor based on the motor weight and the motor efficiency multiplied by its power factor by defining various objective functions including a flexible objective function. A genetic algorithm is employed to search for the optimal design. The results confirm that an overall improvement in the thrust mean, efficiency multiplied by the power factor, and thrust to the motor weight ratio are obtained. Several design conclusions are drawn from the motor analysis and the design optimization. Finally, a finite element analysis is employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the employed machine models and the proposed optimization method.

A sensorless control of a PM synchronous motor with the compensation of the motor parameter variation is presented. The rotor position is estimated by using the d-axis and q-axis current errors between the real system and motor model of the position estimator. The stator resistance is measured at low speeds when the motor changes its rotating direction and the variation of the stator resistance and back emf constant caused by the temperature variation is compensated. The gains in the position estimator are also adapted according to the motor speeds.

In this paper, design of PMA-RSM(permanent magnet assisted reluctance synchronous motor) for washing machine using FEM(finite element method) is presented and algorithms to maximize electromagnetic torque is introduced. FEM has been approached to show the effects of motor parameters on the developed average torque and maximum torque. The designed motor is a combination of salient poles, which is making reluctance torque, and permanent magnet which are located on the air-gap of rotor to get a enough torque during low speed resign. And to verify availability of the proposed PMA-RSM, various simulation are done as compared with bldc motor which is used for washing machine.

A 1MW class HTS(High-Temperature Superconducting) synchronous motor has been developed. This motor was aimed to be utilized for industrial application such as large motors operating in large plants. The HTS field windings of the developed motor is cooled by way of Neon thermosiphon mechanism and the stator coil is cooled by water through hollow copper conductor. This paper describes performance test results of our motor, which was conducted at steady state in generator mode and motor mode.

The electromagnetic parameters of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) such as the open load permanent magnet flux, d axis reactance $X_d$, and q axis reactance $X_q$, are most essential to the performance analysis and optimization design of the motor. Based on the numerical analysis of the 3D electromagnetic field, the three electromagnetic parameters of permanent magnet synchronous motors with U form interior rotor structures are calculated by FEA. The rules of the leakage coefficient and reactance parameters changing with the air gap length, permanent magnet magnetism length, and isolation magnetic bridge dimensions in the rotor are given. The calculated values agree well with the measured values. The FEA results are integrated with the self compiled electromagnetic design program to optimize the prototype motor. The tested performances of the prototype motor prove that the method is suitable for the optimization of motor structure.

Although permanent magnet single phase synchronous motor which starts and runs through single phase voltage source has high efficiency, it is difficult to determine the rotating direction. In this paper, the starting characteristics of the capacitor-run single phase synchronous motor has been studied. The stator has same structure with the capacitor-run single phase induction motor, however the rotor consists of permanent magnet. In this case, the starting conditions according to the rotor and stator conditions are determined and the direction of the motor can be determined. From these results, it is desired that the proposed motor can be applied to the loads like the fans which has low starting torque.
